Yes, in my opinion. I started using Ubuntu, initially because I wanted to use Rails, but very soon realised how great it is to feel in control of one's machine again and now only very rarely use Windows. You can set your machine up to dual boot Win/Ubuntu or you could run Ubuntu in a virtual machine under windows (VMWare or VirtualBox for example). I recommend using rvm to install ruby/rails in Ubuntu, others prefer rbenv. > Also what is a good tool to start developing rails? I'm only a beginner. Have a look at the tutorial at railstutorial.org, which is free to use online. In fact don't just have a look at it, work right through it, including doing the exercises. That will show you the basics of rails. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
