OK, I'll take this a bit further off topic. Ezra, do you plan to cover Xen in Rails Deployment? Also, the blurb on the Pragmatic site indicates that the book is going to focus on lighttpd. Is that still the case, or is the description out-of-date? -- James _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
