I'd say so -- especially for students. You never know who needs a specific Lisp implimentation. For instance, I have a friend at UCD that I installed FreeBSD so they would work at home rather than the over crowded (and SLOW) undergrad lab. They had a project to do in Lisp, and Clisp was what was installed on the lab machines. FBSD only has GCL (GNU Common Lisp) as a port. It would have been nice to have also had Clisp, especially since each Lisp system seems to be a unique dialect. -- -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
