PD is back!

Just be sure to open the .deb package in the right way and it will install pd on your machine.
The next thing I had to remember was that instead of invoking it with $ pd&
in the terminal, it is now $ pdextended&
Haven’t had a chance to play much, what with the Leipzig project, but will happy to have it back!
