"GNU/Linux" is a multiuser system, and this means that each user can have his
own preferences, his own files and so on. You can read the <i>"User Guide"</i>
to learn more. But unlike \"root\", which is the administrator, the users
you will add here will not be entitled to change anything except their own
files and their own configuration. You will have to create at least one
regular user for yourself. That account is where you should log in for
routine use. Although it is very practical to log in as <b>"root"</b> everyday,
it may also be very dangerous! The slightest mistake could mean that your
system would not work any more. If you make a serious mistake as a regular
user, you may only lose some information, but not the entire system.

First, you have to enter your real name. This is not mandatory, of course -
as you can actually enter whatever you want. <font color="red">Alterator</font> will then take the first
word you have entered in the box and will bring it over to the <i>"User
name"</i>. This is the name this particular user will use to log into the
system. You can change it. You then have to enter a password here. A
non-privileged (regular) user's password is not as crucial as that of
<b>"root"</b> from a security point of view, but that is no reason to neglect it
- after all, your files are at risk.

If you click on <i>"Accept user"</i>, you can then add as many as you want. Add
a user for each one of your friends: your father or your sister, for
example. When you finish adding all the users you want, select <i>"Next"</i>.
