Check out the demo screencast on how to install and use it.

It’ll be interesting to see, how well it performs compared to Mongrel and how much memory it consumes. According to the website, performance should be on par with Mongrel.

Currently, the following operating systems are supported:

  • Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (x86)
  • Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (x86)
  • Debian Sarge (x86)
  • Debian Etch (x86)
  • Debian Lenny/Sid (x86)
  • CentOS 5 (x86)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86)
  • Gentoo, March 14 2008 (AMD64)
  • FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (x86)
  • MacOS X Tiger (x86)
  • MacOS X Leopard (x86)

That’s quite a lot already, hopefully support for Debian Etch AMD64 is coming soon, maybe the x86 release will just work as well.

In the next week or so, I’ll be doing some extensive benchmarking with mod_rails. Since this project is in an early stage, we also have to show it some patience while waiting for future development, but this will definitely be very helpful in getting Ruby and Rails to the next level in terms of adoption, since every kid will be able to deploy his or her first Rails app via some easy to use control panel now.
