Thank you and some more work done

 

 Ali , thank you for your words!

That motivated me to do some work, because I found some free time this evening. Here are the changes:

1. I added information on how to remove a user account via the GUI and via Terminal.
2. I added information about the "useradd" command as another way for creating a user account.
3. I added link to the Ubuntu manpages for the commands "adduser" and "useradd" on howto add different advanced parameters to the commands (for creating a user account with root privilegies, etc.).

I know we can give some examples, but there is a lot of information about these advanced parameters (e.g. --groups sudo for "useradd", etc.). And I think the Howtos section has to remain simple (KISS). Every user who wants more details, who have more knowledge about Linux, who is an expert can easily search in Google, Ask Ubuntu, etc. to find the information he needs. But these tutorials are for novice users who need ready for copy-paste commands. Because I can exmplain the parameters "-d", "-m", but I think this is not necessary for now, because the tutorials will become heavy with information. They have to remain like they are now - easy for reading and using, because the novice user wants a result now, not long explanations.

But the Howtos section is getting bigger and bigger and I have a suggestion. On the index page of the Howtos (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/HowTo) we can create 2 links: the first will say "Ubuntu GNOME Basic Howto" and the second - "Ubuntu GNOME Advanced How to". This way we will separate the big page now into to main categories.

I can paste all these things in the blueprint in Launchpad, but we can discuss everything here, too.

 James , we can add some information about installing themes and fonts in the Advanced Howto - how to use root privilegies and add themes and fonts in the /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/fonts folder and then howto change them through the command-line (e.g. gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Ubuntu Mono 12").

I really have many ideas for a tutorials on how to do main and important everyday things with the command-line, because in many cases is faster than using the GUI. And I have always wanted to have one page where there are added all these most important commands. One page, like our Howto page, for quick reference - the user opens the bookmarked Howtopage, scrolls down to find the command and copy-paste it to his/her Terminal. Easy to find and fast to use.

That's why I like the Howto page now - Via the GUI, Via the Terminal. Everything is organized and structured very good.
