Then, the best way to install Rails on Linux is to follow the directions on rubyonrails.org/down , starting with the part for installing RubyGems. I recommend *not* installing Rails through your distro''s repositories, even if it''s there... this is *especially* true with Ubuntu. -- http://www.5valleys.com/ http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/8078 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

sorry don''t know but where''s the problem with taking the distribution you like most and then just install Ruby and Rails? i think there are more important questions about a linux distribution then the software it contains. Sooner or later you''ll have to update it anyway, or install plugins and gems. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Part of learning Rails is learning to keep track of its versions, so you may as well start that now! -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yeah, and on Gentoo you have to compile EVERYTHING you want to install. Try out Ubuntu.

Nice for many things (and I sell solutions based both on Ubuntu and Gentoo so I *really* use both distributions), but not for Ruby work last time I checked (1 year ago).

No I didn''t mean that it used a ruby compiler. I mean that when you do "emerge <program>", it downloads the source and then installs it. It''s extremely annoying having to wait overnight for X to install, where Ubuntu already has this (and much more!) installed.

The default install is with binary packages but you get to build a few things to complete. System updates involve rebuilds (which IMHO is a good thing - you get updates faster and no obscure linkage errors because you rebuilt and relinked). -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
