You hate colored terminals? As in you hate the colored LS output like I do?
I just unset LS_COLORS, (or prevent it from being set), and make sure I don't
use aliases that include any color options.

I'm a big fan of -f myself. It adds / to directories, * to executibles,
etc.
Using -d in an alias changes the effect of "ls somedir". Instead of
listing the contents of the directory you get the directory entry
itself.
In fact, I don't understand the benefits of aliasing ls to 'ls -dH'. As
an example:
blacks@somehost:~$ /bin/ls -dH
.
I used /bin/ls so as to avoid my alias. I don't get a directory listing
at all, and I don't get the / on directories, as you were saying you
were getting.
Cheers,
Steven Black
