Hi Phil,

I''ve downloaded, but not yet installed, the Getting Started toolkit
(might
be called something slightly different) for Windows from the developerworks
site.  It looked from the description like it was similar to the Instant
Rails distro; Ruby / Rails / DB / Webserver all-in-one.  I''m hoping
I''ll get
a chance to try it out tomorrow, but thought I''d ask if you know
anything
about it.  Like, in particular, is my assumption about the content correct?
I''m currently using Instant Rails for a number of reasons, most
significantly its standalone / self-contained characteristics.  Is the DB2
distro like that?

Thanks,
Bill
