Subject: Ruby based linux

Hello,

I am starting a hobby project which is a Linux distro focused on Ruby.
The plan is for it to be a Ubuntu spin, with all the ruby libraries
installed by default.

I would like to also implement as much ruby based software as possible,
including shoes apps. What I need know is what you all need or would
like to see in a distro as Ruby developers. If you could take some time
to answer the following questions.

1. editor you use most with ruby?

2. packages you require as a developer that may not involve ruby?

3. I want to use allot of shoes stuff, or at least have it available.
Since shoes is gtk based I was going to go with Gnome or Xfce desktop
enviroment..opinions?


Mind you this is not somthing that will be released tomorrow...I am in
planning stages now...I will hope to have a release out around Karmic's
release. Other things I need..

Name ideas?

Artwork....wallpaper, icons, logo(once I have a name

webspace...once I have a name I will just start a wordpress blog..but
once in production I would like to have the site done in Rails just to
be as Ruby as possible.

Well thats enough for now...thanks for your time everybody.

Tim Apple
