I will download and test Jruby to see how it functions firsthand. I'm not overly worried about deploying to a 1.9 environment right this minute. I just want to work with 1.9 locally, develop my apps locally, view them and test them locally. Once I feel comfortable with all of that (perhaps a few months down the road) I'll worry about the deployment phase then. Programming in the latest environment is critical to my way of thinking. I learn the latest and am not backtracking and having to adjust. Because I'm new to rails, in my opinion it is better to start with the latest version. When you say not supported you really mean not supported by some gem developers. 1.9.1 works fine on both windows and linux. Some gems though, do not. I've spoken with Luis about this and he's given me a lot of information as to why gems are not working properly, and I understand the frustrations firsthand. I'm really not here to argue or create issues at all. I'm generally a very helpful person, love assisting others, and am the type that will give to the community more than I take. However, I'm still learning the ropes so if you see any teeth in my comments (they are not meant for you). It is simply me dealing with the many frustrations of trying to get up and running. Again, I still need the other questions answered. If someone has answers to those questions, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
