Thanks Doru.
Damien: I updated the README.txt with the Doru's experience. I just add:
"You may have an error saying that it did not find any "ia32-libs" package.
In that case, you can try:
sudo apt-get update"
I attach the new version of the README.txt. Would you mind putting it in the
next LinuxVM zip of the website download?
Best,
Mariano

This directory contains a pre-built Pharo Virtual Machine (VM). So it
should not be necessary to build your own VM in order to use this
software.
If you have a 64-bit Linux kernel, you have to install the 32-bit
compatibility library. For example, in Ubuntu you have to install
ia32-libs:
$ sudo aptitude install ia32-libs
You may have an error saying that it did not find any "ia32-libs" package.
In that case, you can try:
sudo apt-get update
and then you will manage to load ia32-libs.
Here are several ways to get started in Pharo on your GNU/Linux or BSD
machine:
Running from your file manager
------------------------------
You have to associate the extension .image with the squeak
executable. The detailed process depends on which file manager you
use. Here are global indications:
1) Run your file manager.
2) Navigate to the directory where your pharo image is located.
3) Right-click on the .image file to open a menu.
4) Select "Open with other application..." from the menu or something
similar
5) Type in squeak with the full pathname (for example:
"/usr/local/bin/squeak") or select "Browse"
6) Validate
From this point on, you can run your image by clicking on it.
Running through the command line
--------------------------------
First you must unzip the file. Go to the folder where you download the
zip (suppose /path/to/)
$ cd /path/to/
$ unzip pharo-vm-XXX-linux.zip
$ cd directory/with/the/image
$ /path/to/squeak image_filename.image
You can also add the squeak executable to your path:
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ sudo ln -sf /path/to/squeak
and then
$ cd directory/with/the/image
$ squeak image_filename.image
