Change username in Vibuntu after install.



Because Vibuntu uses a pre-configured user account, the username and password
are retained after an install. This has confused a few people. You can change
both your user name and password after install using the terminal. 

To change your password type 'sudo passwd orca', enter the password orca,
then enter the new password twice.

To change your username type 'sudo usermod -l newname oldname' into a
terminal, enter your password, press enter and then log out and back in again
using the new username.

I will include the username change command in the help file in the next
version of Vibuntu.
