Our office is not planning on growing much. Maybe 2 people. I've got 4
people who have very short Windows uids who use the id on Windows and
Linux.  So, we are really talking about 2 users (including myself), but
I only use Windows for my company email, and I want to keep my 3-letter
Linux user name :-). The 7th guy is a sales guy who does not use Linux.
