• Setup a new user.
  Some services that provide servers install the operating system for you preventing you from creating a user at installation. In this case you will need to perform some additional steps.
  • Add a new user.
    adduser {USER}
  • Add the new user to the sudo group.
    gpasswd -a {USER} sudo
• Domain and Hostname
