Thanks. Got one now.

A general question about VMs. I've been "playing" mostly with Squeak  
to learn Smalltalk as well as the Squeak environment, Seaside, and  
Omnibase. I haven't really done anything serious or any serious  
programming yet. However, looking at other people's work and  
postings, I know there are others doing serious programming in Squeak.

My intentions are to develop several production applications for  
clients of mine. Hopefully host them all in a single VM (since that's  
what I'm used to do now using Apache and Ruby on Rails). My question is:

Looking at all the progress being made in Squeak with version 3.8 and  
upcoming versions, with changes being made almost daily, is Squeak  
ready to be used for serious production web-based applications (using  
Seaside) or is VW more mature and stable? Just launching 3.8 VM and  
its image, the first thing the Welcome to message says is: "Squeak is  
a rapidly moving project based on Smalltalk-80, with which it is  
still reasonably compatible". What does it mean by reasonably  
compatible? Is it more compatible than VW? Please excuse this naive  
question since I'm still relatively new to Smalltalk and the two  
mostly mentioned VMs I've heard of are Squeak and VW. Maybe VW is in  
a similar level/stage as Squeak, i don't know.

Thanks,
Daniel
