Here's my shot at it:

===WHAT IS NEEDED===

To use Squeak, you need to have four things:

- a VM (Virtual Machine) for your operating system
  This is the executable program that allows Squeak code to run
  on your platform.

- a Sources file that matches your VM
  Squeak will run without sources but you won't be able to browse
  the code.

- an Image file that provides the Squeak "personality"
  The image together with the changes file holds the objects that
  you will use and develop.

- a Changes file that matches your image
  The changes file is used to record every change to the image since
  the creation of the sources file, including your changes. It is
  always paired with its image except..?
  
===HOW TO GET IT===

If you are new to Squeak and are on Windows or Mac, it is easiest to
install the latest stable release from the download box on the right.
They are complete packages that contain everything needed for Squeak.

If you are on another platform or need to use another image, you will
need to download three files:

- a VM (Virtual Machine) for your operating system
- a Sources file that matches your VM
- an Image and Changes file package

PS - The "Others" button in the Download box should go away.
