I use UCW + SBCL + Apache mod_lisp + CLSQL + postgresql on Linux.  I run
UCW using the ucwctl script which essentially starts a lisp running in a
"detachtty" session.  I connect to Lisp via Emacs/SLIME to develop.

Really, the only complaint is that the setup seems to be a bit
memory-intensive.

I've modified my ucwctl script to load specific configuration files and
such, because I run multiple images on the same machine for different
customers.  If you're familiar with shell scripting, it's pretty
straightforward.

Make sure you're running a 2.6.8+ kernel if you use SBCL, and that it's
SBCL compiled with SB-THREAD support.
