ftp://alix.inria.fr/pub/squeak/unix/2.3 contains the usual stuff for:
    alpha-osf1-v4.0
    i386-linux-2.0.36       (linked against glibc-2.0.7)
    i386-linux-2.1.24       (linked against libc-5.4.38)
    sparc-solaris-2.5.1
    sparc-sunos-4.1.4

with the regular four-file snack-packs in the "distributions" directory.
Major noteworthies:

graphics-related bug fixed (can anyone spot what it is?  this bug
has been there since 1.13 and nobody noticed!)

Jumping windows ?
Moving the window up to the border sometimes let them jump.
...

user-defined primitives are gone (definitively! -- use named
primitives instead)

there's an optional low-res 1/50 second clock using ITIMER_REAL and
SIGALRM, avoiding lots of relatively expensive calls to gettimeofday()

Ah, sometime ago I profiled the VM and was shocked how much time was
spend in 
this routine.
