I’m currently a Windows user, but I’m considering getting away from it. I was wondering if there are developers out there who are doing Rails on a desktop Linux distribution, and what your essential tools are. A

I also like Ubuntu, I was a long time Suze/KDE user but recently

switched to Ubuntu/Gnome with little or no difficulties
