Hi Tino, I think your problems are simple than you think :) first, don't bother upgrading successfully nokogiri until you really need to use it in your project. and don't worry about the failed update, on won't have any side effect.
about the rails version, there is only one thing to consider IMO : - if you start a new rails application, use the last "stable" version, i.e 2.3.8 : less bugs, more speed, more security. - if you work on an existing rails app, use the rails version that has been used to create and developp this application. Until you have a real good reason to migrate your app to a newer version of rails, don't :) one interessant thing you have to know is that you can have several rails versions installed on your system, and choose the one to use in the configuration file of your rails project. In the /config/environnement.rb file, add somthing like that : # Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.5' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION regarding all this, I think you can stay with your original snapshop, and choose the rails version you want to use. but you can also use a fresh downloaded virtualrails and upgrade only rails if you want, it takes only 5 minutes and you will be more confortable with the idea that only rails have been upgraded :) about the place you should put your files, your right : the "/home/virtualrails/" is like the "My Documents" for MS Windows, "virtualrails" being the name of the connected user. for exemple you can create a folder named "rails_apps" or "dev", or what you want under the "/home/virtualrails/" directory, and put here all your future rails projects. cheers up, keep learning Linux and Rails, it really worth the price :) Jérôme Fillioux VirtualBox Team -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
