There are at least five links on the first page of results searching Google for "common lisp download": http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/platform-table.html http://clisp.cons.org/ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcl/ http://www.franz.com/downloads/ http://www.lispworks.com/downloads/

It's true there is no one link, but his examples suffer a related problem -- no links are provided to Jython, IronPython, JRuby, etc., which is misleading if marginally more convenient.

That said, do people typically download releases, even of Perl, Python or Ruby implementations? I've only used distro packages or RCS checkouts of any of those systems. Is this mainly an issue for Windows or Mac users?
