What shell are you running? You can change your prompt at any time with 'PS1=<string>' like so:
PS1="\u@\h:{\w}\\$ "
(which yields user@host:{~/}$ )
You'll want to put this line in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile rc file. Then when you login, you'll always have the same prompt.
Please see the Bash-Prompt HOW-TO (http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html) for more details. Obviously there will be differences for different shells, but you get the idea.
