What i see on Eliot web pages are these most often occured words:

fast     ( cogblog )
double its speed      ( VW )
chip design support  ( hic current company )

But, where are the nice and beutiful high ideas like these from Allan Kay
and others?
Where are final simlicity and usability?

Sorry this Eliot thinking and programming style ( assembler like thinking
and supit overoptimizations ) is leading to some kind of all asociated
programmers hell ...
COG, SPUR whatewer next - he is the number 1. in Open VM and it seems
nobody else is care about where it leads and how to change it

which is *critical* for our community since over time modern operating

Maybe i will try anything where Eliot is not putting his hands.

Pharo 6.1 on Debian Linux

Both version, old images and vm work OK

http://pharo.org/web/download


I will try squeak, and then give you my opinion. But i preffer Pharo for
Seaside support and style and more proffesional look of webpage and
previous good images and vms.
