Adding a user is one of the most fundamental exercises on any computer system; this article focuses on how to do it on a Linux system. Before getting started, I want to mention three fundamentals to keep in mind. First, like with most operating systems, Linux users need an account to be able to log in.

What a useful talent!

They integrate nicely into a desktop environment, bridging the gap between common GUI tasks and common shell tasks. I use GNOME Terminal at work and Konsole at home, and I enjoy them both.
