Im in the "Downlodaded-but-hadn't-tried-yet" category. :-D For me, 
Firebird support a key feature. The "Instant Rails with Firebird" would 
also be smaller would consume less resources compared with a MySQL-based 
version. The size of the unpacked archive didn't make me happy at all. 
8-) The PHP could also go away. (And yes, since I'm definitely 
interested in Rails development, I'm going to to write a Firebird admin 
interface for Rails. If I had to deploy a Rails solution anywhere 
outside my computer, I wouln't certainly want to deploy "PHP on Rails". :-D)

I consider Apache 2 a much nicer alternative.
