I installed Ruby 1.9 on my Ubuntu laptop and started working on the Depot application in the Agile Web D. with Rails book. After trying the same thing at work but, on a Windows machine I notice something strange. When creating the depot applicaiton on Linux it is ‘rails new depot’ but, windows I have to use ‘rails depot’ That just seems really strange to me. I installed the 1.9.1p430 installer for Windows from [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) Why in the world would there be a difference in the commands to set up a rails application? Am I missing something? Did I install the wrong thing? Thanks ---
