[Cuis] Help from Linux users wanted. (was Re: Cuis installation instructions in Git repo issue)

[Germán Arduino]

I do the same approach than David, in particular, I use a precompiled Cog
from Eliot's site.

Then I have the Git client and I get always updated Cuis images.

Is not a good idea install Squeak from the Linux repos.

My 0,02.
