Brian,

This is great news…no more keeping my work (M$) laptop and home  
(Linux) machines in sync for Rails development by copying files, just  
use the live CD and a USB key! One question, is Postgres on the current  
version?

Thanks,  
Nathan

Postgres isn’t in there yet. I don’t really know anything about it so  
it’s on my todo list under “soon”. If you’ve got a good write up on how  
to install it, I’d love to put it in the next release.

As I use Postgres in my rails development and deployment and I really  
want to use this LiveCD, how can I help to get it into the CD?

I can do the builds from the Postgres source, and the postgres drivers  
as well.

Bye,

Guy.

Might I reccomend you also make this a Virtual Appliance.

Those Python guys already have a good one. Think we must have one  
better. 😉
