Hi :)
The infamous "Seg fault" largely evaporated with the next release of Ubuntu and is now (mostly!) far, far 
back.  I've not seen it since Ubuntu 10.10 (Oct 2010) came out afaik/remember.

Running from a command-line in a "terminal console" is an excellent plan but if you close the console then 
the app running from that console will also shut-down.  It's best to keep the console open as it doesn't use 
much resources and tries to hide behind the apps window/console anyway.  


Remember if you want to paste onto a command-line or copy from one then you kinda have to use the mouse's 
right-clicks.  Keyboard paste doesn't work but mouse-paste is always nice.
