I''ve been very happy using the TurnkeyRails VM
(http://www.turnkeylinux.org/rails) which has a very small footprint.
I use the IDE on my local machine to connect to the VM data through
shared folders.

But if anyone has an opportunity to try out this Mint-based machine,
I''d be keen to hear reports - particularly if they''re
linux-gurus who
can dig into the internals :-)

Hi again Ali, thanks for your help !

if your keyboard layout is correctly configured in virtualrails, this is
a strange bug that you''re the first to face :)

can you tell me what is the model of your laptop, and what is your usual
keyboard layout please ?

we have to investigate on this
if someone else is facing the same issue, please let me know

Hi Bryan,

i''m affraid we don''t plan offering virtualrails on vmware at
this time.

why don''t you give a try to virtualbox, it is free, easy to install and
use, performant and relyable :)

I am getting possibly the same keyboard error as Ali. When I press / I
get ! and q and a are swapped. Most of the keys are correct though. I
am using a standard US layout keyboard on a windows 7 host. Is there a
mailing list or forum for VirtualRails so we don''t pollute the rails
list with support messages?

there is no support list or forum at the moment, you can write mails 
directly to virtualrails-6wu1FXIxGCKM0MU9lROt9LeG6SITz1R3@public.gmane.org

for your issue, the solution is rather simple :

VirtualRails 1.1 :
click on the main menu (at the left bottom of the desktop), go to 
"preferences", then "keyboard". clic the "layouts"
tab, and there remove
all layouts but the US one (i.e remove "france alternative")(yes, we
are
french ;p)

VirtualRails 1.0 :
click on the main menu (at the left bottom of the desktop), go to 
"preferences", then "keyboard". clic the "layouts"
tab, and there remove
all layouts.
Then click the "add..." button, and choose the proper layout, either
by
language or by state. For US users, It might be "United States" +
"USA"

hope it helps
I imagined that setting the USA layout being the default one would do 
the trick, but it seems the french one still hang the priority, until it 
is removed :)
