Re: [Mongrel] I am a newbie and I would like some help deciding what operating system

[Dallas DeVries]

I just dealt with getting rails going on Debian.   I switched from Fedora. Basically I used the following two links for ruby/rails/mongrel installs.

Debian is a little more work to get stuff going than Fedora, but people say its suppose to be more stable.  Being a newb I also had to compile the kernel for the first time because it defaults to only supporting 900MB of RAM. 

For newbies like me not knowing how to compile a new kernel

Source installing rubygems isn't that big a deal. And there is a Debian package at http://www.sgtpepper.net/hyspro/deb/unstable/ that gets 0.8.11 rubygems installed on a Debian based machine. From that you can bootstrap the latest version with a gem update --system.
