months? c'mon, since we're all messing with debian, we ALL know
that none of us REALLY has any LIFE to speak of, so you just
need to scrap together a newbieDoc right away, to keep from
feeling guilty because otherwise you'd be dooming other poor,
wretched souls who're condemned to suffer the same fates you
did, but since you were too lazy to help save them from it,
you'll be cursed to life on as a hollow example for others to
learn from, but only indirectly, since you didn't write up that
newbieDoc fast enough.
