I no longer have the time to maintain and support Instant Rails, and  
there  
will be no further releases.

However, Instant Rails is being replaced by the BitNami RubyStack, which  
you  
can find here:

[Ruby Cloud Hosting, Ruby Installer, Docker Container and VM](http://www.bitnami.com/stack/rubystack)

The BitNami RubyStack ships with the following components (all fully  
integrated):

- Ruby 1.8.6 patch level 111
- RubyGems 0.9.4
- Rails 1.2.5
- ImageMagick 6.3.5
- Subversion 1.4.5
- SQLite 3.5.1
- MySQL 5.0.45

Please give it a try!

Thanks,  
Curt

Curt,

As a user of Instant Rails when I first started learning Rails/Ruby I  
wanted to say thanks for all your effort and time.

Hi Curt

Thanks for your continued support on it! It is simply the best way to  
get started with Rails (and even Ruby)!

Cheers,
