1.  I would like to change desktops as default is too dark to be read.

That should be under the look&feel entry of your user settings. Don't know the
actual name, as my UI is in french.

2.  I need to add users to this system.  Currently we have 50 systems in
our shop and many different users of each system.  I cannot add new
users or find out how to do it.  The passwords required are a pain int
he ass.  Is there a way to get rid of this.

About 20 years ago was a distro named Mandrake Linux. It was a great distro for
the desktop. With it came a GUI to do user management, yet nowadays I find it
strange that there is no unified GUI to do just that.

There is, however, a package that install such tools. It is called
gnome-system-tools. Don't be fooled by the name, it is somewhat independent from
gnome. Once installed, if it's not already present, you should find a new entry
in the "system" menu of your applications menu called something like "Users and
Groups". From there you can add or remove users as you see fit.

3.  I need to run a combination of 64 it and 32 bit engrineering
application.  We currently do this on SL 6.5 updated to 6.10 and it all
works.

Installing i386 dependencies isn't an issue on debian/devuan either. You'll just
have to specify that you need to 32bit version when using apt, like `apt install
some-package-name:i386'.


Cheers,
                Ludovic
