I thought that the Smalltalk connection was pretty weak last year.
There are implementations that run on Linux, but it seemed as if they
were a pretty irrelevant addition to the show, essentially because the
set of users of Smalltalk on Linux are about as small a subset as the
set of Smalltalk users in general.

That being said, storage is something where the relationship with
Linux is steadily getting stronger.  Networking and security are
arguably a bit more weakly connected, but these seem way more relevant
than Smalltalk...
