Good Linux distro for Ror

Hi All,

I am very new to rails but am a relatively savvy linux user. My question is
regards to a good linux distribution that works well with most rails. I am
currently running ubuntu which works ok but just ok, there are a few things
that could work better. One being the script/console and although I was able
to install the mysql binding it was a painful process. So one does anyone
know how to fix the script/console issue in ubuntu? or is there anyone out
there using other distros which work well with ror.

Thanks,
Baldur

Ubunutu looks great when combined with deprec like this: 
http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/free-episodes/peepcode-free-deprec.mov. 
Not sure if that will help with MySQL however.

I like SuSE (mainly for historical reasons) and dislike Redhat (that may 
start a religious war, but see below for my "get out of jail free 
card").  Debian looks good but I never have had the time to check it 
out.

Choosing a distribution is as much a personal choice as a technical one 
as everyone has different tastes and opinions.  In the end it does not 
matter too much, just choose the one that makes you most happy.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

What exactly were the issues you have had with
''script/console'' or
MySQL? are you using ubuntu as a development environment or a
production server? I''ve used Ruby/Rails on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper) and
6.10 (Edgy) without any real issues. I''ve found Ubuntu to be very easy
to use, plus the user community is quite large and very helpful for
those edge cases when something doesn''t ''just work''.
But that''s not to
say that it''s perfect for everyone. Anyway, let us know what issues
you''ve had and perhaps one of us could help straighten out what issues
you''re having with ubuntu/ror.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

I am using ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10, as a development workstation. I managed to
solve the mysql issue which was fairly well documented but the console thing
I had a harder time locating the issue. But any pointers in regards to those
two things would be greatly appreciated, especially the console thing. See
errors I get when I try to run it. Any help is be appreciated.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

Asking "what''s the best..." type questions will get you
nothing more
than people''s opinions.  What one person likes another hates.

Rails isn''t going to care what distribution of linux you are running.
It''s really just a matter of personal taste and comfort level although
package availability can play a part. I seriously doubt that any of
the major distributions have any issues getting Ruby/Rails up and
running.

If you are new to linux in general, I would most likely say that
Ubuntu is probably the best choice as was already said, with openSUSE
and Fedora being next, and Debian/Gentoo being last.  Not that Debian
or Gentoo are bad or anything, just that there is more involved in
running those distributions and I wouldn''t recommend them to those new
(or fairly new) to linux.

I fixed this problem by making the ext libraries static (commenting 
everything out in ext/Setup). This assumes you are compiling Ruby from 
scratch. This is on Ubuntu 6.06 server. I have the Ubuntu readline 
packages installed but that didn''t seem to help when I originally built
Ruby.

My reasons:

a) Its a fairly minimal distro so you install only what you need.

b) Updates are very fast compared to Debian, RH, Ubuntu, et al.

c) Its very easy to customize packages - the package system is
briiliant.

That would be kind''a hard since it''s not out yet ;-) But I
will be once
it is released. Not that it should matter much in regard to Rails.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

and what about gentoo versus debian? where stability and comfortable to
update (not only one server, but a lot) are important ?
i think that gentoo is harder than debian to get the same stability,
what do you think ?

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

there is no such thing as a good distro for RoR, there are good distro
for You though.
If you know little about linux, then go for mandriva or opensuse.
Otherwise there is debian, ubuntu, gentoo etc... they''re all good.
My advice is, take the one you''re most confortable with

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

I''ve been writing a RoR apps on ubuntu Dapper Drake for 6 months with
no
problems(I''ve never heard of or encountered any mysql or readline or 
script/console problems).  I followed the installation instructions with 
checkinstall here: 
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1159106&postcount=4

I hope this will work for you.

Are you trying to start a flame war? Here, have some gasoline for that fire:

Actually, the site appears to be down at the moment. Oh, well. You can find

I worked for almost 4.5 years as a systems administrator for an ISP in
New York and I ran Gentoo on almost all of our Unix boxes. Its rock
solid, so I dont know what you mean. And updates are much faster and
easier than any other non-commercial distro out there since Gentoo
packages operate at the source code level (no waiting for binary
package and backporting nonsense - just build it already).

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

I am currently running a vanilla mephisto on OpenBSD and will shortly
deploy my Rails app on another OpenBSD box. works like a charm and
spins like a cat and is easy to install.

My fellow partner installed on ubuntu on his pc-laptop but that OS came
with a useless default screen resolution (~15" wide)  and could not
connect to our open wireless office network and so it had to go (I''ll
get him a proper Mac once i get rich!)

I scribbled the process of installation down at -->
http://84.55.110.163/2007/1/8/mephisto-on-openbsd-in-60minutes

work hard, play hard!

+1

our startup went with gentoo at the recommendation of our sysadmin,
and it was such a wonderful user experience that I switched my home
machine from fedora to gentoo too.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

Gentoo++
It''s been painless getting the full rails stack up and running quickly,
and we''re running 64bit with 4 cores. I''m sure 32bit is even
easier.
I''ve always had to look at some tutorial, or just build from source
to get it running on Debian/Ubuntu, the way their package management
breaks up ruby is annoying.

Re: Good Linux distro for Ror

I use Edgy without problems.  As far as I know the problem you have was
back with the Breezy version of Ubuntu.

Anyway, this page talks about your problem with a solution:
