The same as in any other Linux distribution I'm ever seen (or Unix for that matter). Shell environment variable PS1 (referenced as $PS1 or even ${PS1}) contains the 'prompt' display format. It may be changed to suit individual tastes or preferences.

On my Mac Mini, it is currently:

PS1 = '\h:\W \u\$'

but it can be changed by issuing the command:

$ export PS1 = "whatever I put between these quotes"
