From: Bobby Wilson Date: 2008-03-03T07:05:43+09:00 Subject: Re: sudo gem update --system Takes Greater Than A Minute Hey Brian, That is quite a system you have. 'gem update --system' downloads a whole slew of metadata so this is taxing your network connection more than the machine itself. And from my experience I would describe your time as "normal". 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' is a much different process to compare against 'gem update --system' it is really apples and oranges. -Bobby On Mar 2, 2008, at 1:21 PM, Brian Puccio wrote: > Hi everyone, > > New to ruby (on rails) in general, googled for an answer, but I > can't tell if this is normal behavior.
