Adding User Account in Linux Mint 15 Graphically

Hi, readers it has been very difficult for the newbie’s in Linux for creating a new user account. As most of the part in Linux is handled through terminal, it is very difficult to recall the commands. So in later versions of Linux distribution there are many commands which are designed graphically, so that users can be friendlier with the Os. Today I am going to tell you about the interface that has been added in Linux Mint 15 for adding multiple accounts in the system.

Linux Mint 15 comes with a default environment of Cinnamon which is more over the same as windows GUI, due to which users feel more comfortable with the environment.

To add a user account we have to follow the steps given below:

1.  Open the User Account Interface as shown below:
