Curious about Ruby on Rails but don't want to go through the pain of installing it? The Rails Live CD solves this problem by giving you a fully operating Ruby on Rails development environment without even touching your hard drive! Download and burn this bootable CD to get RoR along with everything you need to start developing. When you boot your computer from the CD, you get Mandrake Linux running KDE desktop manager. On the desktop are MySQL, RadRails, Kate and KDevelop - nice GUIs for RoR development. Also pre-installed are mongrel for Web serving, and a handful of other good gems.
No Linux compiling or ./configure ./make ./make install dancing required!
