it is not the problem that I can get Squeak running under Linux. But think about interested users or even programmers who want to get a glimpse of Squeak 3.9.8 according to decision which environment is best -- and of course newbies as well -- what will they get?
I agree, Heiko. I have fixed many of the issues you describe, but the fixes are only in the Debian packages of Squeak, not in Ian's upstream release. In particular, I worked hard so that you can install easily and just type "squeak" to get started. Matej Kosik continued that process as of a little over a year ago.
I believe there is room for a community-maintained version of Squeak on Unix. It would serve as a nice complement to Ian's release, which would remain the proper choice for people who want only code that has been reviewed by one of the best Squeakers around.
