Run `echo $LS_COLORS` on your Linux system. Arrange to have that same value
set on OS X. (Linux systems typically have a lot of strange stuff set up by
scripts in /etc/profile.d/*. I usually end up working around large chunks
of it, because the Linux distributions like to e.g. force their $PATH down
my throat at every opportunity. At one point I was setting $PATH in a zsh
precmd function, because that was the only way to stop (pre-"enterprise")
Red Hat and SuSE from overriding it.)
