Thanks, Doug! That was most enlightening. Five stages, four
years per stage. I'd often wondered why I'd displayed no sign of
competence in all my years with Debian, but I see that it won't
be long now! Mmm. Or will it?
Cheers,

I think Doug actually meant one year for each of those courses, and
after four years of lessons the user will become an expert. Although I
may be wrong, and those two things could possibly have nothing to do
with one another.
