Thank you very much for taking the initiative to fill this much observed gap. It'll be a blessing to see Rails applications prosper in production. The past two days I've taken the time to comment, suggest, and nitpick extensively on each and every page. I hope that you will look through my persistence at times -- it comes from a good heart :-) As a whole it's shaping up to be great. Still I think that there sometimes is a bit of unevenness in the chapters: some points are dwelled on extensively (which I like) while other points, especially the ones about system administration and why to choose which kind of tool, seem to cut a corner here and there. As a "neophyte Rails deployer" colleague of mine was skimming through the book, he found the initial chapters to be a tailor fit, but hit a wall as he encountered the Ubuntu setup. I'm on the same page with both you and him: indeed it's not a book about Linux system administration, but at the same time I can imagine that the difference in level required for the first couple of chapters can come as a bit of a surprise. Looking forward to the upcoming chapters! Do let me know if I can provide any further reviewing assistance. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.nedforce.nl -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
