PWS is pretty much dying out ComSwiki is superior in almost every way. Go
to http://seaweed.cc.gatech.edu/docs to download it. In the uploads,
there is a SwikiServer.sea if you have a Mac and want to get set up
really fast. You mention Linux later, so you might just want to follow
the directions on that site.

Honestly, I don't know. Lex said that his VM enhancements have made it
into the newest unix VM, but I'm not sure. You can go to
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gt4510b/work/cs/ and download Squeak and
Squeakh for Lex's older VM which does have the newer network patches.

Squeak 2.7 is what I use.
Peace and Luck!
