It all started so innocently. A fluffed install here, a small upgrade
there, that kind of thing, but never very much. RPM was my package
tool back then, and it was always a pain an inplace upgrade. And then
someone showed me apt on Debian. I've been abusing the mirrors for
months now. I just couldn't help myself....

It was only when I started posting knowledgeable answers to the GLLUG
list that I realised that things had got out of hand.

etc. etc. etc.
