Sorry I haven't been active. Haven't checked the forums for atleast a month.

The beauty of open source, is that you're completely able to check the source code for any malware. I don't understand why you'd rather download a .deb from the repository, as it could just as likely have malware as this could (unless somebody is checking the source code of every piece of application in the repositories)

I'll look into creating a .deb.
