It is pretty straightforward, with a few exceptions. To get 90% of it
working though, just make a user and set up the workstation exactly as
you would like it to be for all, then as root type:
cp -fpr /home/username/* /etc/skel/
the /etc/skel/ directory is what is copied into a new user's home
directory when running adduser and/or useradd.

Some applications use the actual username in part f their configuration
- like for instance KMail. For this you'll have to write a post-useradd
script to touch up these files.
