No. And when the sources file does change, it's name changes well.
It has only changed once since Squeak went public.

Yes. Be sure to transfer the file in *binary* mode. Even though it has
text in it, you should think of it as a binary database, not a text file.
The same is true of the .changes file.

The 2.3 release is due out this week. That will be your best bet. However,
you'll want to try to get the automatic update system working so you can
keep getting bug fixes.

I think I heard that Squeak is unstable on some versions of Linux but not
on others. Perhaps someone else can give you more info on that.

Good luck!
