I think the best is to use Ubuntu, because there is the most material available for this distribution. There's a lot of tutorials and how-tos specifically for Ubuntu. It sure makes things easier. If you want "enterprise linux", you can go with CentOS. Bu I prefer Debian flavors of linux alltogether.
Regarding webservers.. you'll need Apache or (even better) nginx as a web server for serving static content. Behind that you'll have web server - of course you'll choose Mongrel (maybe w/ mongrel cluster). For deployment you have to find out about Capistrano and also Deprec gem. Deprec gem helps you set-up your environment. The problem now is that Capistrano just came out in version 2.0, but deprec is still not ready for that version. But I think that it's better to set up everything yourself at the beginning. At least I like to do it that way. Once I really know how it's done, I'll start using automation for that as well. that's it... I'm also not very long in all of this, but I got a feeling about what are the best tools for the job... I hope others will agree.. bye david -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
