[KLUG Members] Waaaaa it's different and I want my old redhat behavior back

[Dirk Hamsun Bartley]

Greetings

OK, so in my switch to using suse, I have some behavior changes I would
like to explore getting back to what I am used to.  Yes I'm behaving
like a user here I know.  ... ... but here is my list of I want my old
behavior back.

bash:

1) Control r reverse i lookup.  If I press the page down button I don't
get back to a fresh bash prompt.  I was soooooo used to being able to do
this.  I find myself still trying at least 20 times per day.  Slow
learner.

2) where did my color go when using ls and how can I put the guy in jail
who took my color away.  (Oh, That's me)

3) 'which' does not tell me what alias I am executing.  If I set an
alias and then execute which myalias I get no output whatsoever.  Who
took my which and how can he be punished. (Damn, That's me again)

vi:

1)  default color behavior after vi determines what file type I am
opening is gone.  Open a c file and black and white text.  Ugggg.  Open
a perl file and black and white text.  Double ugggg.  How is an addicted
color user supposed to handle this?  I picked the wrong week to stop
sniffing glue.

2)  backspace not working.  What????  How can any vi implementation
remove the functionality of backspace.  I am sooooo confused here.  My
eyes must be deceiving me.  Well, tried again and it sure does not
work.  Just keeps a beepin' at me.  Whyyyyyy??? Waaaaa!!!
