To say that I'm stunned, honored, proud, and many other superlatives that just don't seem to do justice to how I feel at this honor!!!
From start to finish, including getting everything installed via the vsido-welcome script, as well as a few other 'apps' I install for myself, it took around 35 minutes total to be completely back up and running. With creating .fsa files of my system, I can now have VSIDO codename:Jedi, back installed from a blank state in less than 7 minutes! You just can't beat that in a distro.
This is a beautiful new look as well that is extremely easy on the eyes! I'm loving every minute of it. (and possibly growing a larger head to boot. Soon I'll be having trouble walking through doorways!)
Thanks again VastOne, this has been one awesome ride...

Also have a look at these numbers:
jedi@jedsdesk:~$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 1.674s (kernel) + 1.253s (userspace) = 2.927s
STAGGERING!!!
These boot speeds are incredible!!!
