FYI, a 6.0.1 install from source failed.  I can't spend any time on it 
right now.

System: 32-bit x86 dual-core, Debian Squeeze, no virtualization, no 
swap, 3 GB RAM total, almost 2 GB RAM free.

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/racket-6.0.1 --enable-both
[[...]]
$ make both
[[...]]
$ sudo make install-both
[[...]]
raco setup: 0 making: <pkgs>/htdp-lib/stepper
Racket virtual machine has run out of memory; aborting
Aborted
make: *** [install-both] Error 134
