With this new folder structure and included VMs, the goal is to ease the 
experience for new and casual users, while giving experienced users the 
flexibility they need to set up the environment(s) that works best for them.

The Linux script (copied from Squeak) is already complex enough... 
Advanced users will be happy to cook their own, I hope.

They should go (as usual) in directories that are siblings of the main 
Cuis directory and repo, and subdirectories of a main Project directory, 
like we suggest in the GettingStarted.md file.

I'm not sure about the advantages over what we've been suggesting users 
to do, in GettingStarted.md. Could you elaborate?

Thanks,
