This question gets asked here time and time and again. Ultimately, the correct answer is always... whatever distro YOU prefer or are most comfortable with. Slackware, Fedora, Debian, whatever floats your boat.

Slackware, Fedora, Debian, whatever floats your boat. > Rails doesn''t care.I know what is linux. I know I can use any distro. Heck, i could even choose a kernel and make my own distro if i wanted. What i''m asking here is what have worked for YOU, because i don''t have much experience with linux distros (nor the knowledge+time to make my own distro) I want my pc to be powerfull to develop and deploy rails apps but also functional for desktop usage, since it''s going to be my home pc (and also the one my wife will use! :) ) I think many of the rubyforum users posting here have exactly that on their own boxes, and it would be nice to hear their experiences. Also, it would be super cool and nice to set a vm and use it to deploy my developed app. Then if i want to deploy somewhere else I could get the image of that vm and put it anywhere i like. Is it posible to do that with ubuntu 7.04 desktop? Last one: any prefered enviroment when using nginx?

I would recommend Ubuntu, which is the best Rails desktop environment. And very shortly, setting up Ubuntu to develop with Rails will be ridiculously easy.

I''d say Ubuntu too. We use Ubuntu Server for Production and staging as well.

I think that''s a matter of taste! Because all distros have a shell (for ssh), and all of them allows you to install an IDE (Apatana, Net beans-Now supports Rails!), so I don''t think that anyone here could convince you logically by a distribution or another. Personnally I''m using openSuse for 8-9 months now (10.0 then 10.2), and since 6 months I''m using only it (bye Windows!), it is really comfortable and convivial (KDE of course! and please do not transform the discussion into a KDE vs Genome one!), and it could help a Windows person to perform ordinary tasks like your wife or me! I found openSuse cool with his Yast, which is similar to the control panel, and there, you can also add or remove any Software using the OS DVD. I''m pretty satisfied with this OS. And for deployment, I''m creating Remote FTP folders for quick FTP, and as others do, I''m using ssh from the Shell (Command line) for administration. Finally, feel free to choose your distro but in order to not annoy you partner choose the KDE environment (You will be asked to do during the install of almost all of linux distros) If you have any question about every day Programming / use, they''re welcome.

If you choose Ubuntu here''s a great guide: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ Good luck.

I''m also in the minority of liking Suse. I host one rails app on Suse 10.0, and run SLED 10 on my desktop. Primarily I like it coz it comes working very close to the way I like it out of the box, and YAST.

Suse is one distro I haven''t used, but heard good things about. Ubuntu is a great option for developing on simply because it''s one of the easiest distro''s to use for someone that isn''t an expert in linux, and doesn''t necessarily want to become one. Redhat distro''s are too heavy for my taste as far as how much crap they have running on just a base install. And if you don''t already have experience with a package manager, apt is one of the easier ones to learn. Coming from a long time working with bsd, I also love gentoo once it''s installed, but the install is too tedious and it doesn''t need to be that way. There is no reason why I should have to use fdisk and create my own fstab and all the other basic configs by hand. It''s too bad also because the gentoo portage system is great.

You can use Gentoo script installer and it does all that for you =) In my case I use Gentoo for coding in Rails, basically my "ide" is vim with a nice .vimrc, a couple of aterms running mongrel and tailing logs and another one in the part of the code I''m working on (models, views, etc). All this under fluxbox. The best experience I''ve have is with that set, anyway RadRails is a nice tool to have too, and of course nopaste emerged for do questions on IRC :D 2007/7/20, snacktime <snacktime-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>:> > > Suse is one distro I haven''t used, but heard good things about. > Ubuntu is a great option for developing on simply because it''s one of > the easiest distro''s to use for someone that isn''t an expert in linux, > and doesn''t necessarily want to become one.
