How To Install Linux into VMware Virtual Machine STEP 55 of 106

The full name of a person is just exactly what you think it is. Same as the name you use for people in your life. Nothing special there. However the "username" is a short lowercase sequence of letters that the computer will use. Computers can be terrible with people and really they are just machines that do not care about your name at all. A username could be something like "bob" for Robert O'Shawnessy. For that matter Seán Bérénice Ciàran Ó'Duibhîn may have the computer username "seanb". Keep it simple unless you have twenty thousand users in a large server. In which case this is the wrong documentation for you!
