Excellent tutorial. Just what I was looking for. I tried Ruby on Rails on many setups:

1.) Dual-boot with Ubuntu (problems: driver issues, missing windows apps)
2.) Ruby on rails in windows vista (problems: slow)
3.) Ruby on rails in cygwin in Vista(problems: even more slow)
4.) Ruby on rails in virtual box (Problems: slow, high memory footprint)
5.) Ruby on rails in andLinux ==> ROCKS!!

Thank you so much for this useful tutorial. But strangely this is the only blog which contains information about andLinux and ROR. Nobody seems to mention it or know about it.

You are awesome!

I hope this answers the question
