Linux

 I am using LinuxCNC (a Debian 7.1 variant) under VMWare.  When I just recreated it after getting the new computer, the first time I started it, it had my user ID, password, etc. all there.  I just started it again, and I was starting as user, not clayton.  And everything that I had installed (applications, changes to .emacs, display resolution was gone!  Weird.  Any explanation?  Also, the standard starting windows is 800x600, which is darn tiny on this 32" screen at 4K.  Is there a way to have Linux startup with a larger display size.  I am installing it from the ISO, so I would expect it to ask me all the install questions.
