Aida on Smalltalk/X

I recently torture tested Squeak, VisualWorks, and Smalltalk/X with a simple but intense text file conversion utility and VisualWorks was the only one left standing "out of the box."  That doesn't mean that the others are not capable, but they each have their strengths, and for a novice "business" programmer, VW seems good if we can afford the license.

However, I am intrigued enough by Smalltalk/X for future consideration and wondered how hard it would be to get Aida running on it, and was wondering if anyone has tried yet or has some pointers.  The image I have has some Seaside stuff in it, but Swazoo isn't even present, so I imagine I would need to start there!

Thanks,

Rob
