I know this question is somewhat subjective, but I am pretty uninformed as to what server would be best for hosting rails applications. I wasn''t sure if there was an industry standard or anything. I also wanted to make sure I got more information before I went and spent $4K on a server and OS. Anyways, I was thinking about 2 different options 1. Buy a server from Dell with Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4. 2. Buy a mac server with Mac OSX server. I''ve never used Mac OSX server and never seen it. But the reason I like redhat is because of up2date and it''s a pretty well known OS. Anything made for linux pretty much has redhat in mind. Although I do have a mac computer and love it, so I wouldn''t expect any less of Mac OSX server. What are your thoughts?

I am pretty sure you will get more bang for your buck if you go with a Dell, HP, or Sun server. Also, I prefer running SuSe 10 Enterprise over Red Hat. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You won''t be dissapointed, the ILOM* is an *excelent* tool and really convenient. You can even install the OS (io redirection of the video and cd-drive) from miles away if you have a good (ptp) connection to your server. *Integrated Lights Out Management, it''s a service processor, with a HTTP[S] server that lets you manage the server and redirect the video/cd-drive/keyboard through an applet. regards, rolando.- -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
