While moving from MS Win to Gentoo Linux I came across a lot of software, hence also all those LISP libraries and tools installable on Gentoo … and I was fascinated. Years ago I went through several tries to get an understanding of LISP but without success.
THIS time I was infected … by the LISP virus.
And I'm going to write about my experience, problems, frustrations and success during this "journey".

About a month and a half ago I decided to switch all my workstation and server OS from MS Windows to Linux – although I earn my living with development for windows (Delphi, C++ etc).
I chose Gentoo as this distribution can be taylored as needed – and I had used it already few years ago. Nevertheless I was a little bit nervous in the beginning and worrying if I could manage the transition without bigger problems.
To make it short: my main development system (dual-boot Gentoo/XP) runs now
- Gentoo with GCC 4.1.1, xfce4, WindowMaker/GNUstep, Gnome 2.14.1
- Emacs/SLIME and SBCL, newLISP
- Eclipse
- VMware Workstation for development on MS Windows
- Wine (want to get a few programs run on Linux, Dreamweaver etc)
Another two (older) workstations are for testing stuff and new enviroments.
One server runs Gentoo, Apache2/PHP, PortableAllegroServe, newLISP CMS and serves as a Portage NFS server. Another server runs VMWare Server.
Next step is testing XEN 3.0 and then building a LinuxCluster.
