Installing SLIME

With the magic hook, SLIME could be run on lisp file open.

 ;Lisp enviroment installation
(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "path_to_slime")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

;Making slime connect to your lisp automatically when you open a lisp file.
(defun cliki:start-slime ()
(unless (slime-connected-p)
 (save-excursion (slime))))
(add-hook 'slime-mode-hook 'cliki:start-slime)

Few more usefull tips can be found there.

Linux on the server

Installer, with kernel 2.4 cannot found the CD-ROM. Kernel 2.6 when ACPI is turned on, hangs up in the begining of load. Manufacturer provides drivers for hardware RAID only for Red Hat and Suse with kernels 2.4.11-*. It's horrible.

I was faced with an interesting thing. Although, server have 1Gigs of RAM, kernel writes - "Warning only 896MB will be used".

Problem can be easily solved by recompiling kernel with support for more than 4 Gigs RAM. But it's still interresting - why it not works by default?
