One thing that I've learned to appreciate quickly is the pharo launcher. It takes care of downloading everything you need (of course, it won't set up a 32-bit environment in a 64-bit Linux for you, that must be done manually). Used it in Linux and Windows environments with good success, it's really the simplest way of quickly comparing different without much hassle.
