Re: Oh, no! Scratch on gOS!
According to the download page, it looks like Scratch is only for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Re: Oh, no! Scratch on gOS!
Excuse any ignorance on my part within this post, but what exactly is gOS? As Jonathanpb pointed out, Scratch isn't officially supported on any operating systems aside from the three that were mentioned.
Technically, it is possible to run Scratch on pretty much any computer-like device which has a Squeak VM available for it - which is nearly every operating system currently in existence. That doesn't mean you won't have a buggy experience - and there's no doubt that using it on unsupported technology will get you bugs - but it's still possible. All you have to do is get ahold of a Squeak VM for your operating system - which isn't hard to do - and then open Scratch.image with it.

Or, if that doesn't work he can always try WINE. It's a windows compatibility interface program for linux. And since Good OS is based on linux it should work both ways.
