It's working, but I have some details to polish.
https://travis-ci.org/gus-massa/little-schemer/builds/86530945
I was using
raco pkg install --auto main-distribution
to upgrade the minimal distribution to a full distribution, but it was
slower than the other configurations.
Then I tried removing "minimal" from the link:
http://pre-release.racket-lang.org/installers/racket-current-x86_64-linux-ubuntu-precise.sh
and it works too. I hope it's also supported.
