Hydra wasn't ported on linux yet. Initially i created a Win32 VM. Then Matthew Fulmer started linux port, but it wasn't finished. There is also a Mac port, made by John M McIntosh , and he reported that he were able to run it. But its not complete - a lot of plugins need additional porting.
Last spring I ported Hyrda to the macintosh carbon VM, it ran, but there were problems with Sockets, plus it was a moving target, then Igor took some time off, so I shelved further effort.
At thistime I don't see really building a new one (unless some has funding). Did I mention it's a moving target?
You are right, it is highly experimental, and initially was developed as a proof of concept.
However out of it I did separate out all the platform support API from what VMMaker generates and requires. That effort then was folded into the iPhone VM and documentation on the isqueak.org site.
