Linux is a secure multi-user system. Each user may have his own preferences, files and so on. But unlike the system administrator called root, the users you add at this point are not authorized to change anything except their own files and their own configurations, protecting the system from unintentional or malicious changes which could have a serious impact on it.

Create at Least One User. You are first asked for a real name. DrakX uses the first word you type in this field and copies it, all in lowercase, to the Login name field, which is the name this user must enter to log on to the system. Then enter a password, twice (for confirmation). From a security point of view, a non-privileged (regular) user's password isn't as crucial as the root password, but that's no reason to neglect it by making it too simple: after all, your files could be the ones at risk.

Create Other Users if Needed. Once you click on Accept user you can add other users. Add a user for each one of your friends, your father, your sister, etc. Click Next when you're finished adding users.

Auto Login. Depending on the security level chosen, you may be asked to choose a user who will be automatically logged into the system when the computer boots up. If you're interested in that feature, check the Use this feature box, choose the desired user and select a window manager, then click on Next.
