Question about Users



Although I have been using Linux for a number of years now I have just migrated my systems to Debi an and I have a question about permissions.

 

Every distribution that I have used in the past has assigned a User, for example 'computation'. in my case and has automatically put the User in a Group 'users'.  I noticed that in Debian both the User and Group are the same, i.e., 'computation'.  My question is why?

 

Thanks in advance.
