We use FreeBSD + a Debian DB box. I''ve also used Gentoo and nginx proxying to it with it.

Hi folks, In my schema I have create_table "post", :force => true do |t| t.column "title", :string, :limit => 16, .... end And in my view: <%= form.text_field :title, :size => "16" %> My question is.... can I get rails to automatically know the field size? So my view wont have the magic number "16", it will just magically "know". thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yay, worked it out. Tonypm''s recent post gave me a clue For a column "x" in your database/model: <%= form.text_field :x, :maxlength=>User.columns_hash [''x''].limit %> Looks a bit ugly... especially when you want to set other properties.... any ideas on how to clean it up?

Another VPS question - how does getting an IP/domain work? Could I start out just getting a vps with a static IP and then have a domain point to it once we get that ironed out?
