Mongrel users - Jul 2006 - I am a newbie and I would like some help deciding w hat operating system

Hi Kevin/All,

	I''m a rails/ruby noob. Have put a rails app in production on Windows
:-)

	We have put our java apps in production using SUSE. If you can throw
some light
On "SUSE is gorgeous but slow" -- it will help us. Is only ruby/rails
slow
on Suse OR is
it considered to be generally slow distro for all apps ? If slow for most
apps,  how much
Performance hit is that ?

Thank you,

BR,
~A

Those are all fine distros. The choice is a personal preference, as all are
capable. The best thing to do is try them all and pick the one that suits
your personality. If you don''t have time for that, just pick one. No
matter
which you pick, each has strengths and weaknesses.

Personally, I use both Ubuntu and Fedora. SuSE is gorgeous but slow. Ubuntu
- the bagillion packages you need to get RoR up and running is a real
hassle. After that, it''s fine. I use Fedora on my VPS where my sites
are
hosted, mostly for the SELinux security and Apache 2.2.

I also use Windows and OS X, so I am not offended if you disagree with my
choices.

Hope that helps, and welcome to the Ruby on Rails community!

Just a general, vague, overall feeling. Most likely from the UI layer.
I have no experience using SuSE as a server, so it may be fine. I
shouldn''t have even mentioned it because Steve was asking about
servers.

Undo, undo! My life needs a "do over" button.

And those of us who use Windows appreciate it greatly!
