If you look at Dysentry's thread on his UNR version he explains why
lucid is a problem, a problem with some driver not available yet if I
remember correctly.  I am using that version successfully (his 1.3a
with the mods in the first post of his thread).  I do a dump of the
usb stick occasionally (using dd) so that if an update or whatever
mucks it up I can restore my previous working version rather than
going back to the start each time.

I have not tried the non unr version so I cannot comment on the relative speed.
