Actually, on digging I found we have etoys and squeak-vm in Ubuntu, in multiverse - which is the "non-free" repository: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squeak-vm, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etoys In this state it's not distributable on official Ubuntu CDs, such as the Edubuntu CD, but it's easily installable. We'll work on fixing the "non-free" status in the next Ubuntu release cycle, if possible...
