I was aware of the ‘simpler’ methods but I like to use ruby gems to install rails so I like to take a few extra steps. But sudo apt-get rails should get people up and running pretty quick too. Thanks again.</p> Simon tag:dnite.org,2006-10-24:7:50 2007-04-22T08:22:11Z 2007-04-22T08:22:11Z <p>Thanks a lot for putting all the information in one place! It helped a ton.</p> Dan tag:dnite.org,2006-10-24:7:49 2007-04-17T08:00:26Z 2007-04-17T08:00:26Z <p>Feisty (and possibly also edgy) has packages to make all this a bit simpler: sudo apt-get install rails you can sudo apt-get install rubygems too, if you want to do things the gem way</p>
