Jeff, maybe some other folks have had better luck with windows, but I did not. I switched to Fedora 16 on an old laptop and have been very happy. RVM is a Godsend. And I can tell you every rails person I know says embrace the command line. Get Vim for an editor, etc.
Lynda.com has some a pretty good video series, but only through Rails 3.0.1 If you want to find out how to do cool things I would totally recommend Ryan Bates site: RailsCasts.com But read some rails books or do the Lynda.com thing first, you will get more out of it that way. Lemme know if you need help with Fedora. SC On Feb 14, 7:01 pm, Jeff Kyzer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > So i am trying to learn Ruby and Rails.
