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.
