Is there any P2P/distributed file system work going on in squeak?
Thanks, P.

Not exactly. In Smalltalk we tend more towards storing data as objects in images, rather than as bytes in files, so filesystem research doesn't seem very interesting in the context of Smalltalk.
However, Craig Latta is working on a P2P distributed way of moving code objects between images, which would be the closest Smalltalky equivalent. See http://www.netjam.org/squat/
