adduser <username>
passwd <username>
You should check out this site:
http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/
Section 3) Basics has good explanations for this stuff.

Cool :)
Try anything and everything, and if it doesn't pan out, you can delete your images and re-deploy a fresh install.
Go for it!

You might want to try out http://freshmeat.net/projects/webmin/?topic_id=253 [Webmin] It's a simple web-based interface which lets you perform several operations/configuration on your system, and you may even let other users adminster certain parts of your server without giving them root access.

You might want to google for "sudo adduser". Be sure of what you are doing, for sudo is an easy of getting rooted :^)

how to you mean?
Obviously it's a bad idea to give everyone sudo * root, but
is sudo insecure in other ways?

sudo is easy to setup incorrectly. read the sudo faq if you need to use sudo for some reason.
