Hey fruit!
We're going to get working on the Ubuntu package as soon as we release Scratch 1.4. Once we get it finished and in good shape, we hope it will be easy to port it to a version that will work with fedora... I think there are even utilities for converting Ubuntu (Debian) packages to RPMs that might do the job.
Help Scratchers make the leap to 2.0!

Great to know that! Thank you for your reply!

I bet you could use this to convert it: http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/alien-–-convert-rpm-to-deb-or-deb-to-rpm/
i'd be willing to test the outcome

put scratch on linux, unix +dos
the only reason i have a window computer is linux is'ent popular
dos the same + i count be bother running eveything from command promt
Most people don't use DOS and there is no Squeak VM that runs on DOS
Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

Re: What are your plans for a Linux version of Scratch?
From this page I downloaded:
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_installer
scratch-1.3.1-0.9-3.tar.gz
And followed the instructions in the INSTALL file.
It installed on Ubuntu Lucid 64 Bit, But does not launch from the app>programming menu
Requirements:
- squeak 3.9-8
- libpango1.0-dev
- libcairo2-dev
Installing Scratch
2. Extract Scratch's archive and go to extracted directory
$ tar zxvf scratch-1.3.1.tar.gz
$ cd scratch-1.3.1
3. Do the installation
$ sudo make clean
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

We're working on that, but slowly...
Hopefully the next release won't have any problems on Kubuntu. If there are problems on Edubuntu, we haven't heard of them yet...

Re: What are your plans for a Linux version of Scratch?
I am using ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koal and I have followed thedownload instructions up to the point at which
http://ppa.launchpad.net/scratch/ppa/ubuntu now appears as a new software source in my system
but no amount of searching or seeking updates for scratch or mit shows anything resembling a scratch installation package.
What have I missed?
