scheme resources
I am gathering scheme and lisp resources, with the goal of making them
into a knoppix CD that contains everything needed to start developing
in either language.  I would like to present books and software that
would serve a diverse class of needs, from people who wish to get
familiar with programming in general to those who want to write
use-once URLs .  Of course, I should spend a few years familiarizing
myself with each of the dialects and their associated environments,
but I don't have that kind of time, so I would like to solicit
recommendations from the community.  I am aware of several scheme
implementations (PLT, guile, Bigloo, Chez, MIT, scheme48, Stalin,
Gambit, Larceny, kawa etc.), but I'm sure I've missed a lot.

software:
small, embeddable:  Tinyscheme,  SIOD, ?
educational:  PLT, ?
production-quality, deployable:  MzScheme, stalin, chez, scheme48, ?
Best-of-breed scheme web server: ? (hopefully smaller than apache)
scripting environment:  scsh, ?
something that plays nicely with java: jscheme, kawa, ?
other software I have not even thought of:  ?

book wish list:  (obviously, I will go ask the authors first, and I
doubt some of these guys will let me distribute their book)
HTDP
SICP
LISP
Scheme in Fixnum days
R5RS?  this is...stable, and tiny, so I lose nothing by including it
SRFIs?

I am fairly space-constrained, so I can't just include every
implementation out there.  I have some experience on PLT 208, but
almost none on any of the others outside of Tinyscheme.

Does anyone on the list have scheme/lisp book or software
recommendations?  In addition, at the risk of inciting flamewars, what
advice do people have on the various implementations/books I'm
considering?
