Hi, I've downloaded and burned the Lisp Resource Kit last year to use at university libraries. It works pretty good. I only had a few issues with it;
1. It was not able to utilize the workstations NIC; a search revealed that it's a very poorly supported card in linux though, so that's not the LRK's fault. 2. The livecd system used provided no way to save files on the XP workstation, e.g. no ability to create a directory from within the livecd os. You have to use some other method like ftp, ssh, etc. to save. 3. The packages were dated, particularly Allegro, which is included both in *nix and Windows/Wine GUI (nice bit of work there) which resulted in Allegro not being able to run because the licence file was expired, additionally there seemed to be no way to run the licence tool or install a new licence because of the read-only file system. Perhaps these issues were fixed with updated package versions. It certainly would be a good example of how to do such a thing, because it does look good; many lisp versions, custom Emacs setup, lots of documentation provided; books, tutorials; scheme support, etc. Definitely worth a look once http://common-lisp.net is back.
