We at Deft Flux have been using Ruby on Rails for a new web site.  We are developing a web site that will help inspectors of homes and businesses do their jobs better and easier.  The site will automate the communications between the inspection requesters, the inspection managers, and the inspectors and make information transfer reliable. But back to Ruby

We here at Deft Flux have always preferred Unix style operating systems and commands to Microsoft.  The problem was that our clients always use Microsoft operating systems and until recently, it was always too much of a hassle to get gnu utilities up and running on a Microsoft workstation, especially when you’re moving to a new one every few months.
