Of Lem with SBCL+Quicklisp:

Huge tip: if you use MCCLIM, install Ultralisp first and (ql-quickload 'mcclim) later: it will give you a big speed boost. Big, not as the ones from Phoronix. Actually big. From 'I can almost see redrawing on a really old ass netbook' to 'snappy as TCL/Tk' under SBCL.
As you can see, you don't need to pay thousands of dollars.
For Scheme, S9 just targets R4RS but as a start it's more than enough, and for SICP you can install Emacs+Geiser+chicken Scheme and from any Linux/BSD: distro command prompt, you run:
sudo chicken-install srfi-203
sudo chicken-install srfi-216
And, as a ~/.csirc file: (import scheme)
(import (srfi 203))
(import (srfi 216))
To run SCM stuff for SICP: csi yourfile.scm
or chicken-csi yourfile.scm
Done. Get the SICP PDF and start doing SICP. You can use Emacs+Geiser with M-x install RET geiser-chicken
if you are lazy. You can install the SICP book with
M-xpackage-install RET sicp
and read it from M-x info RET
and do it everything from withing Emacs by running M-x geiser
(pick chicken as the interpreter).
Save your Emacs settings. Done.
