The Programing section of the Arch Linux forums also tends to be very good, with lots of knowledgable and helpful people there.

How do they make the switch from a country that drives on the right side of the road to one that drives on the left?  Like, if you're coming in from France, where they drive on the right hand side (I think), and entering the UK, where they drive on the left, how is the switch made from one side to the other?

The little Toyota Echo that I drive has absolutely no bells or whistles.  No air conditioning, no power windows, manual door locking, etc.  You really don't need all those extra bells and whistles, even though they are incredibly nice to have at times. 

Well, that clears things up about who's responsible. 

I've only tried it on a Mac so far, but it really seemed to be essentially the same as before.  I didn't bother testing out that personas feature, though.

If you can still log into your old account, try making another account. 

sudo adduser

adduser is an interactive way of setting up a new user's account.  If you still need to set a password after, use

sudo passwd [newuser]

If you don't have access to the old account, boot into single user mode.  At grub when booting, select "recovery mode", and then select "Drop to root shell prompt" in the menu that comes up (I'm assuming this works exactly like ubuntu the last time I used it, it might be slightly different).  Once you get dropped into a shell with root access, follow the above commands to add another user.

That's a lovely looking wallpaper, evilgravedigger.

I used to be a major distro hopper.  Then I found Crunchbang, and everything was all good for a while.  Then mentions of Arch Linux here and elsewhere piqued my interest, and I decided to give it a shot.  I've been with Arch for a while now, and am likely not going to change again.  But I still hang around here, since this is such a great community. 

Besides Linux, I also ski race, ski just for fun, and do music stuff (I play piano, tenor sax, and the drums).

I was really excited about CromeOS and what it would bring to the Linux community.  However, it seems that google wants to keep the users of ChromeOS as far away from really using a computer as possible, with everything done with Google products.  That seems kind of sketchy to me.  Now that I realize their goal, I'm not so excited about it.  However, Google will have some major push power to get companies to publish open source drivers, and there is nothing wrong with that.
