1) SBCL 0.8.16 is the latest version in the Debian Sarge which is the
current stable release. And no, I can not install 'unstable' on the
server. And it's only a couple of months old anyway. I know that
Debian is quite conservative and lag quite a bit from the upstream,
but I think that backward incompatability for a very popular distro is
a "Bad Thing (tm)".
2) How do I know which version of SLIME to install?

Thanks.
