Simplest is to link to Squeakland's project launcher, e.g.:

http://squeakland.org/launcher?http://freudenbergs.de/bert/etoys/OLPC-XO-Display.pr

You need to replace the part after the "?" with the *full* URL to your project.

Alternatively, you could replicate the page generated by the launcher (just look at its source), but you will have to maintain the launcher code yourself then.

What makes you say that? Of course there is a browser plugin for Linux.

We just do not provide full Linux downloads on the Squeakland website, because each Linux distribution already has their own Etoys package ready to install.

(possibly this should be mentioned on the download page)
