I just wanted to pass on to everyone that the latest Linux version works great! I just compiled it (complete with the sound patches courtesy of Lex Spoon) and it works great! Demo number 3 works fine (but slowly), and the Flash player works great! Thanks a lot, guys!!!

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!)
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()
NOTE: this means that sleep() won't work; if you really absolutely cannot avoid calling sleep() from custom-made code then change #define USE_ITIMER to #undef USE_ITIMER at sqXWindow.c:93 and recompile the VM
the ".image" extension on the image name is added implicitly (you have the option of omitting it on the command line)
a couple of Makefile pimples squeezed, more or less as suggested by Bert Freudenberg and Lex Spoon
Let me know of any problems ASAP. Enjoy!
