Just some comments, and then I'll give my opinion on the design.

I think it's bad form to put shortened URLs on a webpage, in
particular the one for "GET YT". Either put the full URL (which is
long in this case to the install_script.sh) or something descriptive
like 'Download install_script.sh'.

Having the single-page CSS scrolling is fine, but I don't think the
gaps between the sections are necessary. To some extent, those gaps
assume that the user can see the entire text in each section. When
they can't, they'll start scrolling down, and then they'll discover a
big gap between sections, which is odd. The converse is true too - if
the text is too short, then there's a big gap, which is odd, again.

Overall I like it, I think it looks pretty sharp.

Take lots of pictures!
