This is so tasty, dunno how many times I’ve emailed asking when they will support RoR as it’s a bit of an arse not having an RoR host handy for http testing - considering im employed and develop on Rails 50% of my week and cant abuse our production servers, it’s a real pain… not any more

My prayers were answered joy 
whats RoR?
Ruby on Rails a web framework built on the Ruby language, the revolution is coming man 
Well i never used it before, but it sounds cool. Btw, I like that cat.
Somebody mentioned this in one of my feeds a few days ago. It’s really cool. I’m glad to see some bigger people supporting RoR, too.
TextDrive supports it, and that’s all I care about. 
Do they support Django for Python?
Bah, you cool kids and your textdrive
I’m always so close to signing up with TD or Dreamhost but never bother because WEBrick serves its purpose so well for development on my local machines, but it would be nice to be able to test over http etc…
DJango is not supported, but python is, I think you need a DV to run Django, but I could be wrong, they always pointed me at the DV’s when I hassled them about Rails support.
I’m actually switching to Dreamhost, I know that I “convinced” voets to move to their hosting too.
they’re fun people, and great packages… I know voets box is called… twix and one of my clients that I moved there is called doritto… the dudes are great. You also get a completely free structuring environment through them… it’s pretty kewl IMO.
Make sure you get refered when you get people to sign up, there program is quite nice.
Yea, well I didn’t at the time but when I start hosting w/ them I will… I’m actually gonna be using voets referal :lol: kinda reverse since I refered him. But it’s all good 
DH also offer subversion thats the moneyshot for me if I needed a host, but I’ll stick with MT for now as I can get at a svn anyway and they never let me down, just the slow arse control panel which I can live with… this new package should be interesting.
What’s subversion? I had (mt) i thought their hosting was great and their cp was awesome as well (and when they dropped their price I was in heaven). I moved to e2 cause their support was quicker, and had a reseller for cheaper. But for the price of the e2 reseller that I’m using I can resell on DH, which provides more space and band than my current reseller at a fraction of the price. the only downside is since it’s not really a reseller, there isn’t an individual CP to control it which is fine since none of my clients bother with that stuff.
Yup, I’m all in love with Dreamhost at the moment … never been able to structure my sites so freely as with them
Subversion is the same as CVS, its a versioning system, super handy, once you’ve used it you can’t go back, even the designers in our place use it to keep a history of visual stages etc…
basically - you have repositories (trunks), with branches, each trunk would be a project, you check out a working copy of a branch, work on it, check it back into the trunk and it jumps up a version number, make a mess and you just rollback to the previous version
I have a PDF somewhere, I’ll dig it out and post.
I think i might look into the ror thing, i know my host supports it. Thanx for jogging my memory.
Ah we have something similar here at work a VCS ( version control system ) which allows us to check in and out files and keep a history. Sorta like version cue but for the masses. We store millions of files which all have a version history to them.
Thats exactly it, you will know how handy it is then, SVN is the same only a lot better and easier to use… it can also plug into a web tool called TRAC, that lets you browse the trunks in a nice web interface, some hosts offer that aswell, dunno if dreamhost do…
http://www.ramieb.com/svn-book.zip grab that for a handy reference.
EDIT (that book is free to distribute BTW, I should have added, so no worries about grabbin it lol )
Textdrive supports that too…
