Yup, I see it. Here it is.
admin-log.txt: sudo dpkg -i /root/localbuild/squeakvm_20131020-1_i386.deb
OK, r2793 is the Interpreter VM and it's installed in both boxes. It's installed in a different location that Cog:

>> /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.10.2-2793
To my mind that means there's no naming conflict, but I suspect that's not what you mean. In both box3 and box4 the only script in /usr/bin is cogvm in box4. The interpreter VM has no script to start it, which I think explains why "squeak -version" produces nothing at all; whereas, "cogvm -version" does. And this is the naming convention you want to clear with Eliot, right? What to call the script that starts a VM process? I don't think the Interpreter has one installed on either box.
Closer?
