I''ll be building a dedicated box to run a RoR app on an intranet in the next week or two. I''m presently piggy-backing on another server with Win2000, Apache2, and FastCGI. It works great most of the time, but I still have issues come up from time to time (FastCGI related, I think) that require restarting Apache2 or even the whole server. It seems windows isn''t the best OS for RoR, so I''m leaning toward linux. I have a little linux experience but not a great deal. What distro is easiest to set up for RoR? Then Apache2 or Lighttpd? In short, what''s the best overall platform for RoR? Thanks. -- Jack Christensen jackc-/SOt/BrQZzOj3I+7jmQ39gC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org

It would seem that what the creator uses must be the most well tested platform for deployment. Also it would be nice to know what Odeo and 43things use. Sascha Ebach
FreeBSD + lighttpd + postgres...and it''s not even close. I''m working on a web page right now, www.flpr.org will have details on how to configure everything over the next couple days, and then I''ll periodically post all the cool tips and tricks of developing and deploying ROR apps on this sweet, sweet platform.

Everyone loves the king of the sea, Ever so kind and gentle is he, Tricks he will do when children appear, And how they laugh when he''s near!
