i am w Lucas here.
As to distros, i prefer debian/ubuntu when it comes to ruby. At least
they (deb) are least crappy when it comes to breakage.
Of course, if you want to have full control (specially in prodxn), i
install by source, and only what i need (not all).
Those who want all, there's a one-click i think, or anybody can just
script all those....

just my 2cents
kind regards -botp

ps: as for nubiness, .. who says developing is easy, yes ruby is, but... ;-)
