* <strong>Root:</strong> also known as the super-user, is the "default" username for the administrator of a linux machine. It is usually represented on the linux terminal with the <strong>"#"</strong> symbol.
* <strong>User:</strong> since Linux is a multi-user based system, it 's common to have different users, each other with his own account. Are called users also, some services running in background. Informations about the users of the system are located in the “/etc/passwd” file.

Every distro has graphic from end package managers (like the Ubuntu Software Centre) and command line package management tools like the “apt-get”.
