I am getting my new MacBook today and was wondering if the experts on this list might have some tips and pointers about what they do to set up their Macs as a RubyonRails dev machine?

I come from a windows background and some of this is essential there. But in the case of Macs do you recommend,

* installing the OS from scratch * adding/removing any default applications from the install * any other system/OS level tuning

I do intend to use the Hivelogic/Geoffrey Grosenbach's tips to get the Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Mongrel setup done. Suggestions/comments welcome.

Thanks.

This is how we setup our laptops at PLANET ARGON... just we use PostgreSQL not MySQL... but the rest should be helpful to you.

Good luck!
