Using Ruby on Rails in a Debian/non-Ubuntu Linux distro)
Have any of you used Ruby on Rails in Debian or a Debian-based distro that isn''t based on Ubuntu? At the moment, I''m using Linux Mint 11 with LXDE (based on Ubuntu) in VirtualBox to work on Ruby on Rails. I''d prefer using Linux Mint Debian Edition (which bypasses the Ubuntu overhead) because it''s lightweight. (In fact I like LMDE so much that I''m basing future versions of my Swift Linux distro on LMDE instead of antiX Linux.) I don''t like the increasing bloat of Ubuntu, and I don''t like the controversial new changes. Thus, I''m interested in pruogramming Ruby on Rails in a non-Ubuntu distro. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi! I use Kubuntu, but I think a lot of people use Mac with Rails. I don''t believe that there are great differences using RoR in different OS, maybe minor issues installing gems with binaries dependencies. Good luck! =) On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 11:25 PM, Jason Hsu, Mr. Swift Linux < jhsu802701-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Have any of you used Ruby on Rails in Debian or a Debian-based distro > that isn''t based on Ubuntu? > > At the moment, I''m using Linux Mint 11 with LXDE (based on Ubuntu) in > VirtualBox to work on Ruby on Rails.

I use it successfully in a Mint-Debian distro (which I highly recommend, since its quite lightweight and rolling released). The only problem I faced happened installing ruby 1.9.2 with rvm, but it''s easily solved installing 1.8.2 first and running ''rvm use 1.8.2'' before installing 1.9.2.
