@Steve,

I forgot to mention something regarding the really really slow boot time.

If after selecting REBOOT in Moode the "Connecting" page with the big spinner appears and the Browser is left open, Moode sometimes does not reconnect. This can make it seem as if the reboot is taking forever because the Moode UI does not come up. In this case just close the browser tab and open a new one and access Moode afresh. A typical reboot up to the point when Moode UI is available takes < 1 min. Ssh access to Linux on the Pi is usually available < 30 secs.

Regards,
Tim
