I am working on a linux distro liveCD called Rubuntu. Which is, you
guessed it, a ruby/raisl centric ubuntu livecd that has the option to
install to your HD if your so inclined. I hope to have my build
system for this set up this weekend so i can start pumping out a few
betas while I tweak it to perfection.
I need some help from the community.
What I really need some help with is killer ruby configs for vim,
emacs and jedit. And anything else you would like to see included,
please drop me a note and any pointers you have for configuration
that would be best suited for this.
I already have all the basics included as far as ruby/gems and a
bunch of database bindings and ruby configured mongrel, apache and
lighty. And I already have plenty of usefull ruby libs installed.
What I really need is the icing on the cake. I want thsi to come
setup with all the trimmings. So all you folks with killer vimrc's
and emacs ruby configs please contact me.
Any little creature comforts you like or nice customization you rely
on to get through you ruby work on linux would be much appreciated.
Other thoughts or suggestions? I'm all ears at this point
Thanks-

I'm sorry I can't offer my ruby vimrc file. I lost it some time ago and
instead of rewritting it I switched to scite. :(
Although you've mostly likely considered it already a nice suite of ruby aware
editors besides emacs, vim, and jedit would be nice. I am suggesting including
gedit, scite, freeride, and kate (if you are going to include some kde
libraries). I would also recommend some pure ruby editors such as diakonos.
One other must in my eyes would be to include every ruby app and game that you
can find that is runnable. Also of interest would be to include the ruSH (a
ruby shell) and possibly some ruby extensions to the shell.
You've most likely been here already, but in case you haven't I recommend
looking at: http://rubyforge.org/projects/vim-ruby/

Awesome idea.
Make sure it has an .irbrc with require 'irb/completion' in it. Make
sure it includes Ruby-GNOME2. Ruby-Gecko[1] as the default browser would
be a nice touch, if not the most effective choice. =D
Also, ruby-electric[2] is a nice emacs mode. chris2 has some nifty ruby
stuff[3] that requires emacs22 if you are thinking of going that route.
I would advise against using MMM-mode for ERB by default since it seems
to usually be more trouble than it's worth. CSS-mode is worth including.
You can see my .emacs[4], but it's nothing special.

Also, sticking this in ~/.irbrc helps:
# Works both with constants and strings (ri Hash vs ri 'Hash')
def ri(obj)
puts `ri #{obj}`
end

Cool, I have a killer .irbrc already with some really nice stuff in
it. I have made an entry on my blog and I would like to collect the
information from everyone there in the comments if possible please:
http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/02/16/rubuntu-is-almost-born
There's even a cool new logo for it there ;-)

Will the distro have mysql/postgres/kirbybase installed?

Well, if we're brainstorming...
The KDevelop packages come with modes and templates and example apps
for developing (KDE, or other) apps in Ruby, presumably largely
courtesy of Richard Dale.
KOffice 1.5 will also include some (rather experimental) support for
scripting Krita (images) and Kexi (databases) in Ruby. Only the beta
is out so far, but you can get the Debian and Kubuntu packages.
Martin
Well, I was about to toot my own horn, but it looks as though someone
already mentioned it: I would be quite appreciative if you included
Diakonos. :)
Pistos
Sorry for the double post, but, for reference:
http://purepistos.net/diakonos .
why not just use ubuntu's free-java-sdk which wraps around the GNU
tools and acts as a replacement for sun's SDK.
it's in universe on breezy
Good luck on this project. It sounds very cool.

It's actaully progressing quite well. The holdup is because I am in the
process of moving to another city for a new job(ruby job of course ;) and my
linux boxes are packed up until April 10th :/ But There will be a release in
April for sure. I have also ditched ubuntu as a livecd base to work off of.
Morphix allows for a much nicer automated build process and is itself
designed to build custom debian livecd's with and these livecd's can be
installed to HD and augmented with a flash drive. So you can install extra
packages and whatever else you want and it will be able to back these
changes up to your thumb drive so you ca re-graft your changes back onto the
livecd when you reboot it or take it to another computer.
There have been many great requests and I got a ton f good config files for
various programs so this will be a fun cd. I will be sharing the entire
build script and tutorial so folks can build their own versions if they
want.
So I guess i need a new name ;) Any suggestions?

Hehe. My quote! ;)
I would suggest "Ruby Live".
Also, if you have enough space, I think you should not only target
developers but also people who haven't yet switched to Ruby. For that
purpose, you would need to install cool apps that demonstrate the power
of Ruby. For example, you could install Typo for Rails, Alexandria for
Ruby-GNOME2, games in Ruby/SDL etc.
Maybe you could also start a project on Rubyforge.

Name Suggestions:
"Mobile Ruby" (though that sounds like a phone app)
"RIMP" (Ruby in my Pocket) (too bad is sounds like "GIMP")
"*Ruby" (instead of *nix)
"Ruby Live" as suggested by another poster also sounds pretty good,
though, in my opinion, "Live" sounds a bit generic since it's a common
distro title. As you can see though, I'm not comming up with anything
better. ;)
As for a logo, the normal tux colored ruby red sitting on
traintracks/rails would look pretty damn sweet.

Rubix
Like RubyReady!
I'd like to see this, too.

Yes these will be included for sure along with some nice
lighttpd.conf files to load balance between mongrels. I won't have my
build system until the 13th of April(i just moved and it is on the
truck until then) After I get my equipment in order I will be making
the initial release. So sometime before the end of the month this
will be out. Sorry for the delay but I took a new job and had to move
accross the state ;)
