I'm not a real Linux user, so I need your help. I need you all Linux 
users to review our setup instructions, and the ways for installing and 
running an appropriate VM for Cuis. Please send to the list your recipes 
for setting up a VM, including possible required libraries, etc. It 
could be Eliot's Cog, squeakVM.org, or Pharo's. Any VM that runs is ok. 
Send your instructions, specifying your Linux flavor and word size (32/64).

Or just check the instructions on GitHub, fix them, send pull requests, etc.

Most likely, I broke Unix file attributes while updating some file in 
Windows. A pull request from Linux should fix it.

Please help me make the Cuis experience on Linux as smooth as it is on 
Windows and Mac OS.

Thanks!
