[K12OSN] OT: Scratch instead of Alice

[Tom Hoffman]

Actually, since Scratch is written with Squeak, it is highly portable,
and David Thornburg whipped up a Linux version which is available on
his website.  There are links in the Scratch forums as well.

In general, the Scratch team has some kind of pole up their butt about
Linux and the open source community.  Their grant proposal promised
periodic public source code releases but they've refused to actually
do that.
