(I've just found out how to post a topic!)
Euphoria is a doddle to install on Win but Linux was a bit confusing for me. I'm really impressed with Puppy Linux - tiny but mighty! I've had Win viruses. Booting Puppy from a write-only CD, (with, say, 512Mb memory stick for a save-file), viruses can be coped with. After a few goes, I find Puppy easier than Win! I've downloaded an .iso, burnt a CD and tried:-
WaryPy2: Wary Puppy with Python ready-to-go. (teampython.wordpress/2012)
Why not cook up a WaryEu.iso or similar? Shaky Linux newbies could try Euphoria on Linux with it as an easy intro.
A great idea!
Maybe you have the energy to try this yourself--you will get advice from the forum if you try. I don't have the time to start a project like this.
But, try out OpenEuphoria Slax. Run O[ on any computer using a USB pendrive.
The Slax Linux download is about 215 MB and is especially easy to install from Windows (no extra software is needed other than unzipping an archive.) Any pendrive will work for this installation.
You will have to convert an O[ .deb to a Slax .sb module; Slax has the software to do this built-in.
The result is a Linux distribution on a USB pendrive with O[ ready to use. The Kate editor is pre-configured for use with O[ and the demos are ready to run.
Try my instructions found in the Wiki: http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/Euphoria_Slax_USB.wc
