Hi,
I'm no expert with trinux, but I can answer one or two of your questions:

Type "bash" and press enter. The you will be using bash rather than sh.
Advantages: tab completion (yay) and history (yay) - there are probably
others, but I've used bash for so long, I couldn't really say what else sh
is missing.

Commands like ls have been stripped down to make more room for "stuff" on
the disk - the --color switch isn't absolutely necessary, so it's not
here. Don't quote me on this, but I think that ls under trinux is actually
part of busybox, if you want to get a hold of it and recompile it with the
--color switch.

See the first answer. Bash rules.

What do you want to do?
