Shared folders & shared programs: share is love!

My brother and I share a computer that we use for playing old windows games and for torrents download.

I want to keep two different users on my waldorf, one for me one for my brother, both with sudo power. Some time ago I did this but now i don't remember how I had done. I also found some guides googlin' it but I don't totally trust them...

Once I have two users with sudo privileges, I need to create a folder shared beetween my brother and I. Why doing that? we will use this folder for sharing torrent files and for the wine's C: folder. The goal is sharing windows games and torrent files!

I hope someone wil help me!

The commands you want are useradd or adduser.

You can have symlinks for each user pointing to the same directories.
