  Then get one of them. They are both in the ports distribution under the 
misc category. You MUST use a colored ls and color_xterm if you want to 
see colorful 'ls' output in X. I happen to like Linuxls because setting 
it up is more straightforward. Colorls is more customizable. The reason I 
created the alias is so that I don't have to type 'linuxls --color -F' 
every time I want to get a color directory listing.
