As privileged user (root) you can type
adduser -d /home/username -m -p password username
in a console/terminal, you may need get privileged access with
sudo adduser -d /home/username -m -p password username
There may be a graphical tool for it too.

Assuming you mean the pre-installed Xandros, it doesn't manage logins.

IIRR the EeePC does not have sudo enabled, instead use "su" and give your
own password to become root.

Yes it does, and furthermore it doesn't require a password. |
