I did an uptime on my computer and it said: 8:52 up 4 days, 13:36, 2 users, load averages: 0.22 0.38 0.34

What's this 2 users? I'm the only user

No, you're not.

/Applications/Utilities/Activity Viewer.app --> Show: All processes

There's you, and there's your system.

This separation is fundamental to the security concept of *nix systems.

So it is root.

Thanks.

Nah, the other user is not root.

Type 'who' to see everyone who is logged in. Typically it's you -- logged in "twice." Once is your login from the command prompt, and the other one is the "login" to open the command shell. See:

[Ocho:~$] who
catone console Aug 24 11:33
catone ttyp1 Aug 27 13:43

[Ocho:~$] who am i
catone ttyp1 Aug 27 13:43

[Ocho:~$] whoami
catone

No, its still catone, not 2 catones.

ie:

RULER console Aug 27 15:56
RULER ttyp1 Aug 27 16:01
RULER ttyp2 Aug 27 16:01
RULER ttyp3 Aug 27 16:01

Type 'w' and you get this:

USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
RULER console - 15:56 50 -
RULER p1 - 16:01 - w
RULER p2 - 16:01 25 ssh root@192.168.1.*
RULER p3 - 16:01 25 ssh cats@192.168.1.*

catone console is the GUI (I think), catone ttyp1 is your term window. Any other ttyp* is another term window.
