2.5 for Linux

Bruce, just wanted to say thank you for doing a great job organizing all
of the various Squeak downloads, all in the same 2.5 directory, with all
of the necessary extras all packaged together into a single file.  And the
downloads work, too! :)

On a semi-related note, my favorite surprise 2.5 feature has to be the new
roundedWindowCorners option in the Preferences dialog.  Sure, it's pure
fluff, but it's still a thing of wondrous beauty. (perhaps I exaggerate)
I love that the menus also take on the rounded corners, and that the
minimized windows end up with sort of a rounded-cylinder look.

(By the way, I'd never known about the Morphic "viewer" windows either.)
