That has been my experience as well.  If you already have an Emacs
installed that you like or are comfortable with (20 or 21, or XEmacs
21), then getting and installing SLIME from the cvs repo is actually
pretty easy:

  http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/#downloading

The setup is pretty easy as well:

     (setq inferior-lisp-program "the path to your Lisp system")
     (add-to-list 'load-path "the path of your slime directory")
     (require 'slime)
     (slime-setup)

On my Linux systems I usually do the cvs co into ~/.emacs-lib, and
have sbcl installed into ~/local (I wanted a newer sbcl than was in
apt), so my .emacs has the following:

     (setq inferior-lisp-program "/home/kburton/local/bin/sbcl")
     (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/kburton/.emacs-lib/slime")
     (require 'slime)
     (slime-setup)
