Does anyone have any experience with production deployment of RoR on  
Dreamhost? Is it now stable enough? Any tips and tricks?

Thanks a lot,

Tom

Tom,  
My experience has been great using rails on Dreamhost so far. I found  
that it was not the best place to fully deploy a rails environment, but  
if the development was done locally and the shared host with limited  
access - Dreamhost, just handled the live environment with the fastcgi I  
was fine. I wrote an article here  
[http://topcweb.com/content/ruby-rails-setup](http://topcweb.com/content/ruby-rails-setup) Pretty much install instant  
rails locally and do your development there. Also feel free to contact  
me and I will share further.

My experience has also been very good with Dreamhost and I use  
Passenger instead of fastcgi.

Good luck,
