>From a purely RoR developer perspective Linux is good. Which you would expect since most RoR applications are deployed to Linux servers - or are you deploying to Windows servers. Its just that Macs are nicer :)
As to why your Windows system is slow for developing could be that you have a crappy system. Windows doesn't help but even Linux will struggle with an under specd machine. Is your hardware up to snuff? Given enough hardware I'm sure that a Windows development machine will fly but there is an issue of getting gems to work. We had a developer here who started out with Windows and had no end of trouble getting some gems to work. He finally jacked it in and got a Mac and stopped swearing so much. My preferences are: 1) Mac = In heaven 2) Linux = No problem, I can work with this 3) Windows = If this was a job requirement I would not apply :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
