Im taking a class ‘Structure of Data’ but the teacher is teaching  
ruby…

in the lab there are 50 computers for the students and the teachers  
computer which is the server and he’s the root… well he wants to be  
able to see our projects from his computer when we’re working on them  
via the browser.

I think he might mean ‘mongrel server’ which is just a replacement for  
the default rails server (webrick).

So I’d say just fire up webrick (run script/server) and then have him  
point his browser to your computer ([http://yourcomputername:3000](http://yourcomputername:3000)) or  
what not. Do some rails tutorials you’ll get it.  
Thanks.
