The book is overbloat. The author suggests to run your rails setup in a
Xen virtual machine! Well he sells rails hosting...

Capistrano is not necessary when you know how to use a good scm such as
mercurial. A simple bash script + mercurial does everything capistrano
can do, and it won't crash on you.

Basically you need:

- Server
- Domain name
- Install Ruby. I would recommend to stick to 1.8.7, as I'm having
painful issues with 1.9.1 and other people too.
- Install Passenger, and Nginx
- Install a database backend
- Get your code on the server. That's where I use my bash+mercurial
script.

And you should be good to go. Depending on your skills this can take
more or less time. Once you know how to do it once, it's easy.
