Also, remember that the "owner" of your files is not "tux", but its UID
in your previous system, which, according to useradd(8), is "the
smallest ID value greater than 999 and greater than every other user".
You can discover which is it by long listing (ls -n) any directory whose
files the user owned, and pass that number to useradd with the parameter
"-u". For example, I have this .bashrc:

$ ls -n .bashrc
- -rw------- 1 1002 1002 8417 Mar 19 15:45 .bashrc

The first field is the file permissions; the second, its "quantity" (if
a directory, will be the number of items it contains); the third is the
UID (User ID); the fourth, the GID (Group ID, you can pass it to useradd
with -g); the fifth, it's size in bytes (you can use -h in ls to change
it to human-readable format); the fifth, the date (Mar 19 15:45, here);
the sixth, the file.

So, adding -u with that number of mine to the command Marek Buras
teaches you, it would be:

useradd -d /home/tux -m -s /bin/bash -c "Tux User" -u 1002 -g users -G
audio,video,cdrom,power,plugdev,netdev tux

In my computer, the group "users" has GID 100; it is a default group in
the system. The owner of my home directory is a group I created for
myself, hence the 1002 GID. You can add a personalized group with
"groupadd -g GID group_name".
