Ouch. Won't that throw a wrench into the works in existing tutorials and 
quickstart documents? I think that the username 'user' is probably 
mentioned explicitly in some places.
If we want to choose another username, why not go with something 
meaningful such as "gis-user" or "osgeo-user". IMHO, not the name of the 
distro. That's just adds confusion.
