I've heard very good things about Instant Rails on Windows. I believe
it sets up a Linux VM and installs all the tools. This makes it
trivial to have a working environment that's closer to what you'll
really be hosting on, so it removes some layers of abstraction and
translation.

All -
Let me preface this with saying that I'm very much new to Ruby on
Rails.
At the time of this post, available versions are:
- Ruby 1.9.2
- Gems 1.6.2
- Rails 3.0.5
I'm trying to set up several working environments in order of
priority:
1) Testing/Learning environment on my system (Windows 7, 64-bit)
2) Shared environment so that I can learn with a developer friend of
mine.
3) Hosting/Deployment environment.
Re: #1 - I have everything installed and have tried several IDEs with
hardly any success (RadRails 2, NetBeans 6.9.1, and RubyMine 3) - yet
haven't been able to set up a fully working/stable environment. Could
be convinced not to use an IDE too, but still need to be able to test
on localhost.
Re: #2 - Tried to combine 2 & 3 by using AWS. Got it going kinda, but
honestly don't know what I'm doing. Maybe Slicehost or Linode would
be better. Want to avoid EngineYard and some of the "expensive"
options because I can't afford it and don't want to pay that much to
learn Rails. Remember that #2 is my priority, so it doesn't exactly
have to be the "final destination" for my application.
SO...
Can folks weigh in on tried & true methods for getting up and
running. I'm a bit frustrated, and thought I'd turn to the experts
for advice. This help could come in any form you're able to give -
step by steps, links, replies, pointers, articles, etc...
Any/all help is greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!
