Excellent!! Always learn something, that way you'll never get bored . Yes, even if you are the only user of your system, always have two users: root (all powerful, but dangerous), and your own "normal" user (not so powerful, but that cuts down on what a cracker could do to you). And remember that the installer asks your input for a reason, so when it asks you for the root and the user passwords, think seriously about security, especially if this machine will be on the internet.

Beyond that, have an absolute ball with Linux !!
