[Rails] Linux distros

This question re-surfaced periodically.  A search of the archives will show
that a variety of OS''s are used for a variety of reasons.  There is
even a
Rails LiveCD project who''s goal is to provide everything you need to
develop
rails in one place.

That said, I have tried several flavors, and have found Fedora Core 5 to be
the easiest to get rails up and running on. It comes with Ruby, MySQL5, and
PostGresQL 8.  Does a good job of recognizing hardware.  The rpm package
manager ''yum'', is easy to use. RadRails, (with, or without
Eclipse),
provides a robust IDE.

My 2 cents.  Then again, your mileage may vary :)
