Hi, I’ve done a few small projects with Rails, mainly learning the  
framework. I use my laptop for development (and to-date, for  
production, though I haven’t really put anything into ‘real’  
production).

I recently picked up a new 10.6 Server version of a Mac Mini. I would  
like to use it, among other things, to learn how to do proper  
versioning and deployment of a Rails app. I am, however, at a loss as  
to how to go from where I am (everything on my laptop) to deploying to  
the server. The server, by the way, is accessible as dataserver.local  
on the LAN and also via a URL that I registered.

Does anybody know of a good tutorial for setting up this type of  
environment for serving Rails apps?

If not, can anybody provide guidance on what I need to do in order to  
start deploying to the server?

Thanks!
