AFAIK a wireless router will not have the computing power necessary to run Rails with decent performance for tens of thousands of users, at least if you're talking about the $50 boxes you put in your house. You'll want something a bit faster. However, if I understand your use case correctly (which I may not), Rails may be overkill. If it's really just a scoreboard for spectators already at the match, I suspect you don't need most of what Rails gives you. Maybe Sinatra -- or even a simple PHP script or two -- would be more suitable. > > > > Thanks > Adrian Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
