iTerm 0.9.4.1208: Better Terminal for Mac OS X
Despite Mac OS X's great graphical interface, you can still get a lot done from the command line of a plain ol' text terminal window. If you came from the UNIX or Linux world, it is a must-have. I normally have at least one Apple Terminal window open on my Mac. But, I preferred something like Gnome Terminal with a few more options and features. Enter...
iTerm is an Open Source terminal emulator available as an easy to install Mac OS X universal binary. The latest version was released on December 4.

ls --color=auto only works in Linux.
Color in Mac´s ls:
export CLICOLOR=true
Just.
The default "ls" on Mac OS X
The default "ls" on Mac OS X doesn't support color that I know of, however the GNU coreutils "ls" does. It can surely be built for Mac OS X, if you want to use it.
