  Heck, I've had an account on my linux machine for 6 months called
lispm. It brings up X with one xterm running ACL in it when you login.
I guess I've had "LispOS" installed for half a year and didn't know
it! (Not to make to much fun of Rodrigo Ventura. What he did is a
FIRST step afterall. Now, if he can get rid of libc, then I'll think
the Schemers are getting started! I plan on doing the same with CMUCL
someday. But not first. First I have to get back to CLIM.)
