brianketelsen.com — Want a bootable CD that contains Ruby on Rails with everything you need to start developing? When you boot the CD you get Mandrake Linux running KDE desktop manager. On the desktop are MySQL, RadRails, Kate and KDevelop - nice GUIs for rails and ruby development. Also pre-installed are mongrel for Web serving, and a handful of other good gems.

Why couldn't you save the data on your harddrive? You could also save it on a thumb drive, upload it somewhere, or even put it on a floppy disk (anyone still use those?).

Use VMWare PlayerFrom Website :I've created a VMWare Player Virtual Appliance that will boot the LiveCD directly and has a 4GB expanding hard drive attached. You can download it right here. You'll need the ISO in the same directory as the vmx file for this to work. So download both the VMWare Virtual Appliance and the LiveCD to play directly in VMWare Player. You can get VMWare Player from VMWare at VMWare s Download site. Thanks to Mike Sax for the idea!Link to VMWare Appliance <a class="user" href="http://www.brianketelsen.com/Rails_Live_CD.zip">http://www.brianketelsen.com/Rails_Live_CD.zip</a>VMWare Player: <a class="user" href="http://www.vmware.com/products/player/">http://www.vmware.com/products/player/</a>

Wow. A Linux distribution with a web development framework PREINSTALLED! What a groundbreaking, Digg-front-page-worthy INNOVATION!I'm off to make a "gedit" live CD. That way I can boot right into an operating system with a SIMPLE TEXT EDITOR!What's the benefit here, exactly?

the point i think the person was trying to do was make a liveCD and include some software then must be either hard to install or not included on any other liveCD.there is also a mythpclos liveCD out for people to try that software out as well for probably the same reason.never seen so many people on a thread bust someone's balls for making a useful liveCD for people.i would say it's a better digg then the daily updates about ubuntu every single day.

OK, I'm a newbie. I downloaded the ISO image and burned it. It boots fine, but then I 've got to log in, and I have no clue what to use as login or password... I can't find anything on the website about a login.Can someone help me out or point me to a solution? Thanks

Nope. Plus theres already programs that bundle everything you need to get started for Rails anyways, why would you need a live CD?
