I just have a couple of questions for the group as I am looking over the  
RoR/Ruby architecture for a new project that I am fixing to start  
working  
on.

GEM updates Windows vs Linux

I will be developing the application(s) in Windows and then promoting  
them  
into a Linux production environment. My question would relate to the  
GEM  
updates that I have made on the WIN box for the DB drivers (ie MySQL,  
SQLite, Postgresql) and how to transpose the same GEM updates into the  
Linux  
environment. I have ran into issues where one version of the update  
works  
great in one environment and not the other. Is there a way to embed the  
GEM  
updates into the RoR application itself for promotion into another  
environment?

Thank you in advance for any assistance on this.
