VM image with ready-to-use Rails development environment?
ruby-on-rails, ubuntu, virtualbox
Solution
Found this: https://github.com/rails/rails-dev-box
Hoping it's going to help; consistent with Branden's comment above.
Problem
So... I've been trying to start developing Rails, and I'm having a horrible time setting up my environment. Installed Ubuntu 12.10 in a VM. Installed RVM. Installed Ruby 1.9.3. Installed Rails. Then Rails console didn't work because I didn't have readline, and I had to start futzing with rvm commands from here and from a Stack Overflow thread, only to get numerous incomprehensible errors. And that's just me trying to get off the ground and start running. Please oh please, isn't there a ready VirtualBox VM file with a machine preconfigured for development work?
