howdy...i was just reading through the FAQ and noticed the following: |

=========================== |
| 4 |
How do i add a normal user? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Everyone seems to think that i shouldn't be using root for everyday use, how |
| 7 |
can i add another user? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The command adduser gentoo will add a user called gentoo. The next step is to |
| 10 |
give this user a password and passwd will do exactly that. |
| 11 |
=========================== |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
if i'm root, and i type these commands as you have outlined them here, i will |
| 14 |
change the root password only, unless gentoo has modified adduser to su to |
| 15 |
the added user by default... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
granted, your website does explain that gentoo is mostly for power users, but |
| 18 |
i think it wise to be a little more specific if you're going to address |
| 19 |
passwd and adduser at all. =) |

gentoo looks very cool, BTW! can't wait to mess with it. |
