Colored kernel message output
Let's work more on Linux's cuteness! [http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/4/431]
The following patch makes it possible to give kernel messages a
selectable color which helps to distinguish it from other noise,
such as boot messages. NetBSD has it, OpenBSD has it, FreeBSD to some
extent, so I think Linux should too.
Inspired by cko (http://freshmeat.net/p/cko/), but independently
written, later contributed forth and back.
I like it, although having a boot option would be nice (I have a friend
with color perception issues).
I start my root xterm in white on blue for identification, so color
coding sounds like a great idea to me.
