Which Scheme implementation?


Hi. I want to learn Scheme. I've been learning Common Lisp, but there are some things I've read about Scheme that I find more appealing. However, there seem to be quite a few implementations to choose from. Any recommendations?

I don't have much criteria to give, though I like convenience features (like function autocomplete), portability, and support for lots of packages. (With Common Lisp, I was able to use CLISP + quicklisp, which was quite handy. Does Scheme have something like that?)

Guile has the advantage of being included with most Linux distributions.
