Hivelogic - The Narrative - Building Ruby, Rails, Subversion, Mongrel, and MySQL on Mac OS X

Hivelogic - The Narrative - Building Ruby, Rails, Subversion, Mongrel, and MySQL on Mac OS X: This is a great alternative to the simplistic Locomotive. I see Locomotive as a quick way to run Rails applications you want to evaluate, but this tutorial goes much further. It walk you through the installation of each component, whiich will make you feel a tad smarter at the end. The installation took quite some time on my G5 but was a great insight. And I could upgrade to the latest just by using the curl -l ftp:/each_website/each_path/* wisely. Great springboard to Ruby on Rails. Also the usage of Textmate in this development environment is precious, but that'll likely be another blog entry.
