Re: RoR tutorials for *nix systems

Know this is rather OT but the OP may find (and other too) of interest.

Try www.rubylearning.org they have courses on Sinatra merb etc
Someone there maybe able to help to on linux RoR related sites too.

Note i have done 2 ruby core classes and a couple of shoes classes also.
for my sins and poor skills i also am noted currently as an assistant teacher.

but i was mainly there trying to help Satoshi create some notes/examples etc 
for Shoes and to challenge the students on those courses with different things 
about Shoes.

Shoes is a cross platform (Linux, Mac  windows) ruby GUI front end written by 
a brilliant programmer called _why (aka _whytheluckystiff)

blurb finished.

There's not much linux-specific stuff in Ruby on Rails, to be honest.
Just run the webrick server from the command line in one window, run
the debugger in another (if you have any breakpoints defined) and you
should be good to go.

Don't bother trying to integrate into apache while you're learning the
thing, just use webrick directly.
