Hosts that support ruby...

rootr.net - seems to have done it for the longest. I'm just moving from 
them - mostly cause of the latency - they are in hong kong - should have 
seen my clients
    eyes whey i told him his stuff was in hong kong :). Fairly pleased, 
other than that.

Hub.org - They run a virtual machine - meaning you would have a sandbox 
to play in. Support was...fragmented. Ruby install is not 
complete(-mod_ruby).

cihost.com - Nice deal on a dedicated box. 1 setup 29 a month. They get 
kind of bristly when you ask them to install ruby,mod_ruby - it can be 
challenging as they've found out.. I've got my stuff running there now - 
but am looking into moving. Now that mod_ruby, dbi, mysql-ruby has been 
fixed, they want 150 an hour to fix php which was broken trying to fix 
myql-ruby. Dont ask me how or why or anything - i've not heard, after 
asking several times.

1and1. Dedictated box. 99 setup 49 a month. No ruby.

Which brings me to my next question, who out there wants to take a shot 
at this install on redhat 9.2? The criteria is, you will have to charge 
less than 150 an hour. Installing it myself i believe the 
incombatibility has come from mysql 4.0, which i insisted on - hoping to 
avoid 'mysql has gone away' errors, but, i think, whacks some of the 
libraries used between dbi, and, interestingly, php(word from the admin 
that installed things) any one hear of that??. Someone willing to do 
that, give me the price(and something about your background), and i'll 
give you the keys. Maybe you could hook this Shannon up as well - 2 for 
1 deal :)
