Although, reconsidering: If I just installed Debian and I had trouble,
and I was a newbie, I would google 'Debian support'
Where this: https://www.debian.org/support states:
"For user support in English, please contact the debian-user mailing
list." which points to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ where it
implicitly states that you should subscribe to get support.
