Jose: From Ubuntu (hardy heron 8.04), how do I:
1) Find out about the package you have gotten Debian offering?
2) Download and install it on my computer?

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Hi Jerome,

Here's how I did it:

1. Uninstall the Ubuntu packages from Synaptic
2. Goto http://packages.debian.org/lenny/squeak-vm
3. Select package for your box from table
4. Accept open with GDebi Debian package installer
5. Let GDebi install it - ignore notice that it is not latest version

After installation it shows up in Synaptic should you need to remove it.
