Re: Setting up your MacBook for ROR

Macs don''t really come with a lot of extra crap like a Dell does.  The
pre-installed OS should be fine.

For an editor, I''ve been using TextMate (http://macromates.com/).  I
must
have got a discount, because I don''t remember ever paying ~$50 for it,
but
it''s a great editor for any task.

I haven''t run RadRails (http://radrails.org/) on Mac OS X, but it also
is a
great environment to work in.

Thanks for the superfast responses, folks. Very helpful.

I was curious to hear if you recommend any additional steps *before* I
begin the Ruby/Rails/MySQL/Mongrel install. i.e. reinstall the OS from
scratch, add/remove any utils etc.

There might be a simple *No* answer to this, but coming from a windows
background, wanted to check if these steps are needed in the Mac world
specifically for a ROR dev machine.

Thanks.
