The latest precompiled Unix VMs (Linux etc) are always at
http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/. Packages for Linux distributions are
another matter, and this has not been as well organized or supported
as you might hope. Bert Freudenberg has tried to coordinate some
activity on this front. I don't exactly know the status of these
efforts, and I'm not sure that there is currently any reliable source
of VM installation packages for the major Linux distros aside from
the squeakvm.org site. Hopefully someone else can speak up with better
information.
