I have a machine with an apparently failing hard drive, which I plan to give away to someone who may replace the drive. Of course I want my password and root's password off it. Root is not a problem; I simply change the password to a dummy I can remember, and let the recipient change it again, right? How about the user? I'd like to do a little more than that -- but not just delete the user and create a new one. The currently most likely recipient describes himself as a newbie -- meaning, I believe, to linux. I don't have to worry about actual data; I had wiped the drive with DBAN, and this is a new install, onto which I have yet to copy anything from any backups. But I do have various tweaks and adjustments -- arrangements of panels and launchers, default tabs for browsers and the gnome terminal, the workspace switcher, etc., etc. No doubt, when he's done this a while, he'll alter them all. But if it were me, I'd prefer starting with *something* to work from, rather than having to re-invent my whole workspace(s) from scratch. Can I give that to him?
