Hi,
So now I have the answer to Raspberry and Squeak out of the box.
32 Bit version is installed by default.
$ squeak -version
5.0-202101191919 Wed 20 Jan 2021 08:38:27 PM PST gcc 8 [Production

On the 64 bit one just does not quite work. You can apt install
squeakvm but it doesn't really work.
printf too old, using shell-quote (CPAN String::ShellQuote) instead
found gettext in /bin
This interpreter (vers. 0) cannot read image file (vers. 68021).
Press CR to quit...^C
This is with a quite recent 64 it Squeak 6 image.
The flags like -version don't do anything except tell you that there
is no image -version.
cheers
