Betreff: Re: [Rails] Linux Suggestions
Is this thread an indication that what would be really cool is a
Linux bootable CD distro built specifically for Ruby on Rails?
Would be great to have something that would boot to KDE/Gnome with
Firefox, several Ruby editors and a few nice icons that said things
like ''Start Rails Test Server'' and several cool Rails apps for
demo
purposes. Of course Ruby and Rails would come pre-configured with all
the bells and whistles so that newbies and demos could run without
hassle.
That way if you give a talk about Rails you can hand out test CD''s
afterwards or if you needed to do a remote demo you take the CD and a
flash key with your Rails app and boot from a client''s desktop onsite.
