A series of kind suggestions from the helpers of #lisp
This page is my personal suggestion for how a new user should go about
setting up their environment to learn Common Lisp, what tutorials to
investigate, and where they should seek help and guidance. It's also a
tutorial on how to pick a configuration that other people are going to
be able to help you with. What this boils down to is whether you care
if you get laughed at instead of helped. If you do care, follow this
guide.
If you do not follow these instructions, you will receive much less
helpful advice from the regulars of #lisp. If you deviate too much,
you will likely be ignored. Therefore, if you actually want help,
follow these directions.
