The .exe is just a self-extracting zip-archive. You can run the .image included with squeaks VM on Linux as well. If you use the archives directory-structure as is, the only thing not working is the fullscreen-presentation-mode. Three or four weeks from now I'm going to use Scratch with my 7th-graders at a German Gymnasium as starting point to teach them algorithmic thinking, which I consider it a _really_ good tool for. I don't have to care about syntax or typewriting and am able to focus on the core concepts from the very beginning.
