if I have the choice I would use debian as well. but I had a few observations - heroku runs http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack debian (or ubuntu) with one or two (ree-1.8.7 + mri-1.92).
for such a setup you just do not need RVM, the separation between those ruby's I get from ruby itself: $HOME/.gem ├── jruby │ ├── 1.8 │ └── 1.9 ├── ruby ├── 1.8 └── 1.9.2 so unless you use ruby-edge on a production server then ruby from the OS should do. the actual problem with both debian and ubuntu is rubygems, just recently the one I had from ubuntu stopped working due to some updates on the rubygems.org server :-( since RVM manage rubygems as well this is definitely a plus for it. I wondered if you can really run mod_apache on apache with jruby - I appreciate any pointers to a howto for such a setup !!!! anyways with jruby you put the java world into the round: how does RVM handles the different JVMs (from ibm, sun, openjdk, jrocket) and its different versions ? - Kristian PS just a thought: never is never right. always is always wrong On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 3:54 PM, Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas <[email protected]> wrote: > Honestly, I always see Ubuntu Server as a joke.
