This may be the wrong place for this question but i am not sure where to go. What is a good linux distro to get started with rails 3? I have given up on ubuntu and any related distro since the version of gem isnt high enough for rails and its related packages. I cant seem to use Arch since they use ruby 1.9.1. Is there a distro that has what i need in its package manager so that i can be up and running fairly quickly? I am not the best at getting all the packages running from scratch, so i rely on package managers but that seems to be a loosing battle as well. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. ~Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Then update your version of gem with gem update command. I mean if ubuntu isn''t gonna work for you, then I doubt anything else will. I think ubuntu has the most up to date packages of any distro. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

But I very much dislike ubuntu for rails. I tried it before and everything just did not work out. Too many files were named weirdly and I just did not want to deal with renaming or symlinking. I stuck with CentOS 5.5 (also works with Fedora 13) and compiled ruby 1.9.2 from source (preview3, but the RC just came out) and then downloaded rubygems 1.3.7 and compiled that as well. I never got RVM to work with it though... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sounds too strange to me... I think you could just ignore the built in package managers and download and install your gems, rvm and whatever else from github and the gem package manager. Forget about ubuntu or fedoras packages... Victor On Jul 3, 7:43 am, Kenneth <li...-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> But I very much dislike ubuntu for rails.

Forget about ubuntu or fedoras packages...Exactly. At least for Rails 2.x, Ubuntu works quite well. You can probably get away with installing Ruby through apt-get; then just download RubyGems yourself and use that to install gems. No problem.> > Victor-- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org Sent from my iPhone -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ubuntu works well, but I would use rvm with rails - very good experience with me using it/ On Jul 1, 4:36 pm, Nick Hird <nrh...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> This may be the wrong place for this question but i am not sure where to go. > > What is a good linux distro to get started with rails 3?
