Debian recently started including this in the default .bashrc which,
when you are logged in remotely via ssh, conveniently displays
<user>@<host> in the terminal titlebar:


# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
    PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
    ;;
*)
    ;;
esac


Here's another cool one I like for identifying a chroot:

# set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt
# below)
if [ -z "$debian_chroot" -a -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
    debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
fi

# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color)
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\0
33[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
    ;;
*)
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
    ;;
esac




For all the people who said they can't stand rxvt, perhaps you are not
invoking it with options to make it look good?  Have you tried:

# rxvt -bg 0 -fg grey -sb -sr -vb -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15

I personally find the minimilist features, especially the sleek scrollbar, to be very appealing.
