Since you mentioned Free Software web programming environments...

We've written a Free Software web programming environment in Common
Lisp which is comparable to some of the more featureful commercial
"application servers" like WebObjects.  We did all the development on
Debian BTW, using Peter Van Eynde's awesome .debs for CMUCL.  It also
comes with an SQL package comparable to Apple/NeXT's EOF and based on
accepted standards in the Common Lisp community.  We make both
packages available as .debs, although they are slightly out of sync
with the CVS archive (which is also available to other developers).

Debian is really a great environment for lisp thanx to the work of
Peter and others.  It's so great in fact that we use it as the
production environment for our resource scheduling software.  After
spending years working with Solaris and other platforms, Debian just
makes them all look ridiculous, like goddamn scrubs.

The proprietary "web development" platforms are so bloated and
overwrought with Javatude and egregious standards creep that the Free
Software environments really do offer viable alternatives. Viva La
Free Software!
