Thanks Mariano! The brief description of the different browsers was helpful.
Because of your mentioning of the term "O2", I managed to find the O2
repository
(http://www.squeaksource.com/O2) and load the latest version using

Gofer new

 squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';

 package: 'ConfigurationOfO2';

 load.

(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfO2) perform: #loadDefault

David Roethlisberger made some changes on April 13 2011 that seems to make
it
work with Pharo (after I fixed the #MNU of the Preferences class). There are
still some things missing like the Mercury Panel and some possible
incompatibilities with Pharo-1.2 but at least it loads.

I'll try to fix those problems and update it to work with Pharo-1.2.

Thanks!
