[QUOTE="dalison, post: 596952, member: 48611"] Thanks man - that's pretty much what I figured. I really like the way the Ubuntu model works and this appears very similar. Now my biggest struggle is figuring out a decent web development platform. I tried setting up Ruby on Rails and that has been a PITA. I realize that people say ROR is "really easy" but apparently there is some significant assumed knowledge that the Ruby community has - especially on the Mac side. I'm coming from the Microsoft .NET / Visual Studio environment, and Delphi before that, so I'm used to complete development platforms that have everything embedded in them. Would love to find a similar model for Mac that doesn't involve me simply running VS in VM machine. (I realize that this is better placed in the developer area but I'm on a roll :Smirk: ) [/QUOTE]
