No, 3.2 is pretty soon officially blessed I think so it is quite ok right now, it is IMHO not too
soon to try it. But you don't need a new VM for that - the 3.0 will do fine. I use the Debian
packages (3.0 VM) with 3.2 (and 3.3alpha) images regularly. Ok, Richard wrote that not you...
whatever.

It's not that tricky but the Swiki page could use some more explicit explaining. I will see if I
can add some, I have recently gotten my machine to build from SF. Yiha.

There are RPMs (3.0) available:
http://www.csc.tntech.edu/~skhanna/RPMs/Squeak/squeak.php
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.0/unix-linux/x86linux/RPMs/

And as I said, these should work with 3.x images.
