Just curious...
I noticed that distros tend to create user account with unique UID and unique GID (and usually both are the same id). For example, UID=1000 and GID=1000.
What is the reason behind it?
As I understand it, it's so you can give some, but not all, other users group access to your stuff. With a common GID, it's everyone or no one.
