Fedora is a <emphasis>multi-user</emphasis> operating system. !
In sh
, this means multiple users can be logged into the computer at the same time. Three
distinct groups, <emphasis>normal user</emphasis>, <emphasis>system
user</emphasis> and administrative accounts exist on your Fedora system. By
default, your account is created as a <emphasis>normal user</emphasis>
account. Normal users have permission to run a desktop and related desktop applications.
System users have permission to programs running in the background, often with elevated
privileges, that help maintain your computer system. One example of a system account is
the Xscreensaver program.
