Hi Nio,

I installed from PPA, and will take a look at it later.

My initial quick run of the program just to look at it was great.

First impressions:

SPEED!!  it seemed much faster than before!!

VISUALS!! The colors in the terminal behind the GUI are quite nice :D 
The GUI looks very nice, simple and easy!

I will test actually making a USB later, but the first impressions are
very good!
