That would be me, I saw Mr. Kay's presentation in Seattle and I went
home afire to play with this app...
Squeak hasn't been anywhere as easy to install as I had hoped. Two hours
later, still not a squeak out of the install. I'm no expert with Linux,
though I've been using it as my OS (RH) for about a year now... Chalk it
up to user error, sure. But, Squeak should be as easy as
apt-get install squeak
should be easy if teachers are going to be using it.
I was really surprised to find outdated rpms and no repository
(apt-get). Mr Kay's presentation was aimed at teachers but I got the
feeling, after looking at the install options, Squeak is for teachers
who are using MS.
I'll take a look at the 'new' instructions. Maybe I'll get it going this
time...</end whine>
