I don’t want to start any OS wars. I was just curious as to what OS
you prefer to run/code ruby in. If you run *nix, what distro?
Thanks,

Ubuntu
I personally run a mix of Ubuntu and Windows 7 and I can assure you you
do
not want to be on Windows when developing for Ruby. I’ve also had
experience
with Ruby on OS X and found it really quite suited to the platform.

Netbeans on Kubuntu and Windows7. It’s the same.

Arch Linux with rvm

Windows 7 & Ubuntu Lucid.
Netbeans primary dev environment. Really minimises the OS differences. I
tend to standardise on JRuby a lot
across OSes.
I haven’t tried the new RubyInstaller on windows. Has huge updates over
previous versions (includes a toolchain
which allows for compiling native gems from source, POSIX fashion).

OS X for development.
Linux for deployments, usually Ubuntu or whatever if the client has a
different preference.
I install Ruby from source on most platforms, now generally using RVM.

I’m using Ruby 1.9.2-p0 on Ubuntu Lucid (not the standard package
provided in the Ubuntu repos, I compiled Ruby myself from source) and on
Windows Vista. And I agree with the others, using Ruby on Windows is a
pain, exspecially if you’re used to making calls to #fork in order to
parallelize processes.
Vale,
Marvin

Windows 7 for development. Also lots of little scripts. Currently
working on my first web app, which will actually end up being deployed
on OS/400 (Although I haven’t the faintest idea how I am going to do
that …).
Interestingly, of the people that answered so far, 60% run Windows,
only 10% run OSX. 100% run multiple different systems. This does not
match the typical rhetoric.
(Of course, the sample size isn’t exactly optimal to say the least.)

Ubuntu for development, ubuntu for deployment. Occasionally (when I
have to) I’ll edit some code under windows and maybe even run/test
stuff too.

OS X for development. Deployment on OSX and Windows.
Linux VM’s (gentoo), ruby compiled using rvm
then I actually edit code on windows via e-text editor (via samba share)
I find using linux = it just works, i had a small go at using windows
and
that wasn’t fun…
- My data is on Windows (SQL Server 2005)
- My clients are using Windows (Internet Explorer)
- My other development tools are on Windows
so I decided to start learning Ruby and do my first project on:
- Windows XP with Ruby 1.9.1
I use Windows 7 Pro
Data in SQL Server
IronRuby 1.1
Notepad++ as the editor…

I use OSX for development and OSX Server or other BSDs for deployment.
Geoffrey Grossenbach, Evan P., Carlhuda, Laurent (duh), Eero/rue,
Ben B., Aaron P., Paul Dix and Eric H. also use OSX for
development.
I use Ubuntu in a really light vm, and leverage putty and xming to
minimize the size and requirements of the vm. I blogged the setup:

At work: Windows
At home: Debian squeeze
Redcar as the editor. Which I highly recommend, it may not be as
polished as TextMate, but it’s getting cooler every day.

Hello Nick:
For development I prefer using Windows Vista or 7 if the Gems are
available
on Windows but will use Linux Mint if the Gems aren’t available or
precompiled for Windows.
For execution prefer running them on Windows (because that’s were most
of my
apps are) even if the speed is a little slower most of the time.
