Re: [Rails] Rails on windows

From a purely RoR developer perspective Linux is good. Which you would
expect since most RoR applications are deployed to Linux servers - or
are you deploying to Windows servers. Its just that Macs are nicer :)

As to why your Windows system is slow for developing could be that you
have a crappy system. Windows doesn't help but even Linux will
struggle with an under specd machine. Is your hardware up to snuff?

Given enough hardware I'm sure that a Windows development machine will
fly but there is an issue of getting gems to work. We had a developer
here who started out with Windows and had no end of trouble getting
some gems to work. He finally jacked it in and got a Mac and stopped
swearing so much.

My preferences are:

1) Mac = In heaven
2) Linux = No problem, I can work with this
3) Windows = If this was a job requirement I would not apply :(
