Is there anyone that is using eruby on a production system? If so can  
you tell me what Operating System you are using and why you prefer it.  
Also a link to set up eruby on the OS would be handy as well.

Thanks

Pardon me if I’m off-base here, but the way you are framing the  
question make me think that you are talking about embedded systems,  
and got to eruby because it means ‘embedded ruby.’

This isn’t the meaning of embedded here. The embedded here means  
embedding ruby code inside a text file.

In that sense it’s used quite a bit in production, for example rails  
uses it for generating xhtml, xml, etc., for pre-processing  
configuration files, and probably other things.
