Mention Lispbox under "Get Lisp" #6

While it uses Clozure instead of SBCL, Lispbox is the easiest way to set up CL on a computer. http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/

Technically, Lispbox is dead. See: http://gigamonkeys.com/lispbox/

"Due to a lack of mental and CPU cycles, I have not been able to keep up with producing up-to-date Lispboxen. Consequently the Lispbox distributions that used to be downloadable from here have become attractive nuisances—things that look like they'd be useful but mostly are not... I apologize for not being a better maintainer of Lispbox, but I figured it was better to be honest about the situation than to have you waste your time trying to install something that is more and more out of date." --- Peter Seibel
