Using the standard snu emacs on ubuntu 8.04 and on windows xp (no jocks
about my up-to-dateness), it really was that easy.

One difference is that I installed the emacs starter kit which installs elpa
and other generally nice packages. Don't let the name put you off. I've been
an emacs user for > 20 years. The starter kit is useful for anybody.

I'm sure that's how it's supposed to work, but just this afternoon I
had a lot of trouble using a _fresh install_ of Carbon Emacs to
install swank-clojure through ELPA; kept hitting undefined functions*,
and that was after a few failed attempts to install.

Fortunately I'm not a completely clueless n00b, so I fetched someone's
recent swank-clojure repo off GitHub, wrote my own ant build.xml
(because this one only came with a Maven POM, and I don't use Maven),
and fixed up the b0rked ELPA install using the included .el files.

I now have a working Slime connection to my own Swank Clojure server,
and a working Clojure mode... but it's by no means as simple as "just
hit 'i' on swank-clojure and ELPA will do the rest".

* E.g., swank-clojure-slime-mode-hook.
