What other tools do people really like for rails development on
which is at
a .deb so you can remove it or do what you want with it later.
I see my question in the other thread is answered… There are a
couple of really handy gems not included in that deb… Are you
up for suggestions for them as well, or is that set in stone?

Nothing is set in stone yet at all. Suggest your little heart out!
OK great suggestions, keep em coming. This is basically the full
ubuntu livecd with everything for rails pre installed. So it will
have much of what you already asked for already. But here is a small
list of some of what is already planned:
ruby1.8.4
gems
rails
switchtower
mysql/ruby bindings
postgresql/ruby bindings
imagemagick/rmagick
apache/fcgi/scgi
lighttpd/fcgi
mongrel
subversion
vim/setup slick(can use help with this, please send configs and
suggestions)
emacs/setup slick(can use help with this, please send configs and
suggestions)
RadRails
daemontools
daedalus
other random good stuff
Please ad to the list within reason and remember you can always
install anything else you need pretty easily. There will also
eventually be an easy way to install the whole shebang to your hard
drive when you decide to keep it.

pdf/writer is very handy; I’d like to see that on there.
How about a snapshot of the rubyonrails.org wiki, for reference
purposes?
It would be very handy to be able to boot from this CD, then have it
automount a USB key (e.g. if USB key found, mount it under
/home/default_user/rails_apps) and run one or more apps off that -
without installing anything. You’d probably be limited to Sqlte as
the database on the USB key, for the sake of space.
You could then have a group of the common plugins and engines (e.g.
login_user, user_engine,
scaffolding_extensions, bundled_resources, etc.) that a user could
selectively copy to their USB key.
OK, possibly getting over the top, but I could see such a setup being
ideal for software demos, or remote development. Check out a copy of
your app onto your USB key, take it somewhere, work on or demo it
under Rubuntu, then check it back in again…

I would suggest JEdit with preinstalled ruby plugin and extended
ruby.xml mode file.
Yes I believe that functionality already exists in the ubuntu live
cd’s. You can use a usb thumb drive with a virtual filesystem on it
that grafts new stuff you install into the environment. So extras you
install should be seamlessly integrated into the system when you boot
up and load your thumb drive.

Obviously you folks haven't tried my latest plugin. It actually
serializes my brain into a mem-cached neural network that does rails
and ruby programming while I sleep I just need to remember to
clear my sessions every morning or I can’t see anything because I get
the blank screen error.
I find it valuable to use phpMyAdmin during development. Obviously
this requires php and appropriate server hooks. Possibly it could be
preconfigured on a separate port.
If there were even a minimally functional rails substitute, I would be
all for it.
Ezra, possibly you can work on that from hours 32-37 each day.
Ok I am making progress with Rubuntu! I hope to have my build system
set up this weekend. What I really need is a bit of help. If you have
an app or something you would like included I need good config files
and set ups. Right now i mainly need a sweet vim/vim ruby setup and
the same for emacs and jedit. I have most other stuff configured. But
if I can get some help with these editor setups then I would much
appreciate it.
My goal with this is to get an automated buidl system set up so it
tracks the latest changes to ubuntu and anything installed so i can
remaster when something gets upgraded. And I can also add packages or
software at any time and remaster. I want to get this into superb
shape by railsconf and take some donations so I can print up 550 of
these so everyone at railsconf gets a copy with a nice label and all
that.
So, config files people! Send me your killer vim setup or your
killer emacs set up or your killer foo setup and i will try to
include it. the more help i get the better this will be!

I for one would very much like to see this, would you consider setting
up a email notification on how you are going. Maybe I can help with
some testing.
I just need to remember to
