It's a good idea to create a normal user account that you can use for general Linux tasks. Before rebooting, create a user account for everyday use. Adjust the groups in the example below to match your needs. Some of them may not exist yet on your system. Replace "<user_name>" with the name you're going to use for your everyday user. The "-m" option instructs useradd to create a home directory for your user. See man useradd for more info.

root # useradd -m -G audio,video,cdrom,wheel,users <user_name>

Don't forget to set a password for your new user:

root # passwd <user_name>

Check Package:Sudo to enable sudo.
