Its goal is to make it easy to get a Ruby on Rails development environment running in no time.

  1. Why MySQL by Simon+(S2) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    And not the vastly superior PostgreSQL? I really like FKs in my relational data. And I know that MySQL does support them, but not with myISAM tables.
    This is really not meant to be a flame, but pgsql is really better than mysql, so why not include the better one? Or am I wrong?
