It's kinda like the firehose drink, the language and compiler are changing rapidly, but I think what's described in Stuart Halloway's (excellent) book is still applicable, except for some very small number of bugfixes and breaking changes in 1.1 and 1.2.  The next release of Fogus/Houser's draft "Joy of Clojure" book should be butt-kicking, don't know when that's scheduled tho.<p>Also, installing swank, slime and paredit, and getting one/more of leiningen/ant/maven to work seem to consume a lot of bandwidth (this might be one of the times that the MS windows install is more straightforward).<p>just saw this for Debian:<p><a href="http://measuringmeasures.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-new-clojure-emacs-setup.html" rel="nofollow">http://measuringmeasures.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-new-clojure...</a><p>the IRC and google group are very friendly, ask questions!
