Hi. I just installed the slackware 14.1. how do i oper the terminal? because i click up the desktop on the left on the K icon, type "terminal" and it opens a window. why i see bash4.2 instead of "my name@...?"

By default Slackware won't set many different options in your shell.

In your ~/.bashrc you would want to set:

if [ "$BASH" ]; then
  PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
  alias ls='ls -F'
  alias pico='nano';
else
  if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
    PS1='# '
  else
    PS1='$ '
  fi
fi

If you are using zsh, in your .zshrc you might set:

PROMPT="${at_normal}${fg_lgreen}%n@${at_underl}%m${at_underloff}${fg_white} [${fg_cyan}%~${fg_white}]:${fg_white%}%b$reset_color
${fg_white}[${fg_green}%T${fg_white}]:${fg_lgray} "
