Why would it be more work with Linux? It sports accelerated device drivers in
the kernel, and putting a barebones X server between the kernel and Squeak is
easy'nuff. There are a couple of Linux distros nowadays that emphasize 'get
up'n'running quickly', meaning that you can plunk a ready-to-run CD in mostly
any modern (PCI, etcetera) PC; stealing the bottom layers and starting Squeak
would probably be a one-day job.
