In Ubuntu, all the stuff for variations (aliases) on the 'ls' command is held in your .bashrc file in your home folder (note dot). There are various options in there for setting aliases; eg I always unhide 'll=ls -l' ; also, colour prompts and other colour default stuff. The file controls your personal shell settings when logging on. Have a read in there and perhaps google for some 'Bash Scripting'. It is very powerful tool.
