I agree. I installed Fluxus on a fresh install of Ubuntu a few days ago and
indeed; if you don't stubbornly  muck up Racket like I did on this laptop it
goes very smoothly. The one issue I had was with three libraries for jpg,
png and tif that weren't in the docs but scons is a joy to work with and
pointed out exactly what I needed.

With all of the notes about "X crashes", "Y misbehaves", "Z is
under-documented", and "Oh, and let's re-do all of the interface in a
entirely different language because we could make a much bigger mess that
way" it really can't hurt to note that it all works very well indeed.

Cool video too, Evan!
