Installing RoR for a Newbie is a nightmare

Hi Philip,

I think this defeats the purpose - many people including me are using
Rails on Windows and have no problems.
( everything manually installed and using Netbeans IDE )

It should work, it does work.

Personally I find this Windows/Mac comparison elitist. They can both
co-exist quite happily.
At the end of the day isn’t the whole point of developing Web
Applications that it does not matter what O/S the end user is on ?

BTW: I am a Windows and Mac owner - I do RoR on WIndows because I
find some things annoying on the Mac.

cheers Dave

Good on you for persisting…
I’m sure things will run smoothly from now on.
Good luck.
