 using schroot in debian.org porterboxes
 =======================================
 
-When logging into Debian porterbox machine, it should display similar message:
-<pre><code>
-Welcome to porterbox.debian.org, the Debian arch porterbox.
-
-See 'schroot -l' for a list of available chroots.  Start new sessions
-with 'schroot --begin-session -c <chroot>', run commands in sessions using
-'schroot --run-session -c <session> [-- command]', and tear down sessions
-using 'schroot --end-session -c <session>'.  You can run a limited set of
-privileged commands, for instance some of apt-get, using
-'dd-schroot-cmd -c <session> <command>'.
-Use 'schroot --list --all-sessions' or 'schroot-list-sessions [<userglob>]'
-to list (your) open sessions.
-
-This server is hosted at data centre.
-</code></pre>
-
-The previous description is rather compact and dense, so let's try to describe the usage in more friendly way.
+When logging into Debian porterbox machine:
 
 * List available chroots:
 <pre><code>
 	$ schroot -l
 </code></pre>
 
-* Begin a persistent schroot session on Debian unstable:
+* Begin a persistent schroot session on Debian unstable (or in the case of backports replace sid with, for example, jessie-backports):
 <pre><code>
-	$ schroot -b -c sid -n mysid
+	# Pick your own session name:
+	$ echo -n "Session ID: " && read sessionid && schroot -b -c sid -n $sessionid
+	# or use a random one:
+	$ sessionid=$(schroot -b -c sid)
 </code></pre>
 
 * Update and upgrade Debian unstable chroot:
 <pre><code>
-	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c mysid apt-get update
-	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c mysid apt-get upgrade
+	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get update
+	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get upgrade
 	[..]
 	Do it for real [Y/n]: <Enter>
 	[..]
 </code></pre>
 
-* Install your broken package build dependencies:
+* Install your build dependencies:
 <pre><code>
-	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c mysid apt-get build-dep gentoo
+	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get build-dep hello
 	[..]
 	Do it for real [Y/n]: <Enter>
 	[..]
 </code></pre>
 
+* In the case of backports (or experimental), you can install a given package. You could use, for example:
+<pre><code>
+	$ dd-schroot-cmd -c $sessionid apt-get install debhelper/jessie-backports
+	[..]
+</code></pre>
+
 * Change root to Debian unstable chroot:
 <pre><code>
-	$ schroot -r -c mysid
+	$ schroot -r -c $sessionid
 </code></pre>
 
-* Download your broken package source:
+* Download your source:
 <pre><code>
-	(sid_arch-dchroot)user@porterbox:~$ apt-get source gentoo
+	(sid_arch-dchroot)user@porterbox:~$ apt-get source hello
 </code></pre>
 
 * You should be able to reproduce your issue, hack on the package, fix the bug. Once you are done with your work, please, finish your schroot session:
 <pre><code>
 	(sid_arch-dchroot)user@porterbox:~$ exit
-	$ schroot -e -c mysid
+	$ schroot -e -c $sessionid
 	$ exit
 </code></pre>
 
+* List your currently open sessions:
+<pre><code>
+	$ schroot-list-sessions
+</code></pre>
+
+* List all currently open sessions:
+<pre><code>
+	$ schroot --list --all-sessions
+</code></pre>
+
 * You should be done by now. If you find any issue, please report to debian-admin@lists.debian.org.
