Please add comments about the LISP programming language as being appropriate for OLPC development.

Steel Bank Common Lisp is available by typing (in the Terminal activity):

su
yum install sbcl

(found here).

You also probably want Emacs and Slime. The combo of Emacs, Slime, and SBCL makes a pretty decent Lisp environment, although it is not yet clear what you can do with it.

su
yum install emacs
wget http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/slime-2.0.tgz
tar xvz slime-2.0.tgx
