I'm not sure what your issues are with Linux, but if it's security, I can't recommend OpenBSD enough. The previous release, 3.6 (3.7 just came out 19 May) has packages for Squeak 3.6 already set for use for most platforms, all you have to do is install them.
IIRC, you live in Brazil, notes for ordering are here, http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html#brazil. It might be difficult to download as the new release just came out and the download servers seem to be swamped.

You might, or might not, find it easier to use NetBSD.
Thanks for the tip! I am reading the NetBSD manual now. I had already checked out FreeBSD (after verifying that Ian had Squeak binaries for that) but it seemed to have all the negative features of the main Linux distributions that I was trying to avoid.
One of my back burner projects is an iso to install a Squeak Machine and one to install a Lisp machine. It's way back burner though.
In the case of my web server I just need something that will work today, but I have some older machines around that I want to play with and am not in a hurry so I can check out far less polished alternatives. I am particularly interested in trying to run Squeak on top of the Utah OSKit (http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/). There is already a "Scheme machine" this way.
A more conventional live CD Squeak might be easier to make starting from Knoppix or some variation of it.
