What are you using to read/post to HN? That would likely be enough to run Cuis on. I've run Cuis on a Pi 2 and that was fast enough to provide a reasonable interactive development environment with a useful amount of memory. Running without a GUI is generally not likely to lead you in an interesting direction. The thing to understand is that the Squeak VM expects to encapsulate 'high level' hardware including a bitmapped display, keyboard, mouse and a sound device. Anything less than that and you're putting yourself more in the role of VM developer instead of Smalltalk developer. (Honestly, if one were starting from scratch today there are more interesting places to start than the Squeak VM as its lack of SMT support is becoming a crippling limitation. This is a design limitation of the language/environment and can only be overcome fundamentally rethinking a couple of core concepts.) |

I understand this thing I really do and to develop those capabilities I would have to do it outside of Smalltalk with C and other tools in terminal but I really want to do it with and within Smalltalk learning it more as I go and that requires it starting without sound/graphics in the first stage. This is the only choice available for me with my current limitations. I can temporarily run it to compile vm from source on other hardware but I cannot use it for longer work this way. I don’t care really about the role I am putting myself in as long as I can study it more deeply by already using it and I am simply looking for easier way then implementing it from scratch and without Smalltalk because I only can work from terminal. I would agree that there are many interesting places for starting from scratch too and it would be interesting to see if you would point to them too but in my current situation I am really looking for the intermediate step I’ve described. I simply have no other options for progress at the moment due to my limitations. In other moment I would imagine many other options and probably would not be that focused on one of them.
