Hello Tim,

I've just installed this new version from the ISO and I have to say that
it's working beautifully!

With gnome-session this system is consuming only 475 mb of ram. I tried to
upgrade it with "update-manager -d"and even galaxy was still working after
the upgrade!

Thank you so much for this good piece of software and let me know how i
could contribute more to this project.

Kind Regards
