 ===How Do I enable Autologin?===
 The real question is, do you really want to? If yes, you should get a hammer and hit yourself in the head repeatedly. Logging in, especially logging in as user, not root, is a very basic but powerful security measure. Hostile programs cannot be autorun on your system if you log in as user. Also no one can accidently/purposefully find your collection of porn, google searches, or downloaded emails simply by pushing the power button if you set a user with password.
