redirect_to :action => ‘list’ forces the clients browser to request the
list action.
render :action => ‘list’ will render the template list.rhtml without
calling or redirecting to the list action.

This causes an HTTP redirect to be returned to the browser,
which then fetches the new URL.
- render :action => ‘list’
This causes a ‘server side’ redirect, and causes
the other action to be executed without the browser
knowing anything about the change.

Almost. The action is not executed, only the corresponding template
list.rhtml is rendered as if the call was
render :view => 'list' # imaginary API
being equivalent to
render :template => "#{controller_name}/list.rhtml"
modulus the template extension. It could even happen that the list
action renders something else.
Server-side “redirects” are done with render_component.

Hmm, I never knew this… seems like an unfortunate decision, bound to
create confusion.

That’s wrong. The action never gets called. Only the template for that
action is rendered.
