Tal vez te interese
esto, que te dará un control bastante más avanzado del modo de presentación de la consola. Por ejemplo, puedes especificar que si te encuentras en el directorio /var/www/html aparezca [www] en el prompt, o aparezca la ruta completa [/var/www/html]. Yo uso lo primero para mi cuenta de usuario raso por comodidad, y uso lo segundo para root por seguridad (no quiero meter la pata por pensar que estoy en un directorio cuando en realidad estoy en otro).
Por si te es de utilidad:
