Lisp tools for Windows and Linux

[SolarBear]

Hey, I picked a Common Lisp book at the university's library for a laugh ("AHAH, Lisp !" I thought) and I quickly stopped laughing. It seems like a very interesting and powerful language.

Still, I need some tools for the trade. Any good compilers/interpreters for Linux and Windows ? IDEs ?

I got one called LispStudio which isn't helping me at all - I don't get any output, even if I use the format function. Any ideas ?

On Linux, you can use clisp, cmucl, sbcl, or a number of other things.

I believe the student edition of Allegro CL is free (or close to it) -- it's supposed to be the premiere CL environment for Windows.
