Henri,

I had exactly the same experience also with Mandrake. After dowloading various VM's I've finally got Squeak running perfectly. Unfortunately I'm in NT at the 
moment but when I get back  to Linux I'll check which VM finally worked and, more importantly, where I downloaded it from. I'll post another message then to 
let you know. 

There is light at the end of the tunnel :-)
