Yes, thank you John, for bringing up the VM issue. Let me add something 
specific.

On http://www.squeak.org/Download/
Section 'Virtual Machine' / Link 'Debian/GNU Linux' points to 
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3616 which does not tell me anything about 
the following VM

http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-3.10-6.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

which I used yesterday finally with success on Ubuntu Jaunty (see
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2009-August/138228.html 
- the problem there was resolved when I tried it later).

I currently do not feel comfortable updating the wiki page 
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3616  (Squeak for Debian Users) myself. 
However the person doing that should hold on a bit until Ian /Piumarta / 
puts out 
http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-3.10-7.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz 
which is supposed to have some plugin issues fixed (see 
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2009-August/138196.html, 
description about Squeak-3.10-6.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz is there)

Personally I would like to see a page which tells Ubuntu users what to 
do as there are quite a number.

Maybe the whole section on  http://www.squeak.org/Download/ about VMs 
should just be replaced by one pointer to 
http://www.squeakvm.org/index.html and that page should be updated 
accordingly?
