Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Brian Ketelsen have produced a bootable LiveCD based on PCLinuxOS. They write:

Many people are curious about Ruby on Rails but don’t want to go through the pain of installing it locally. The Rails Live CD solves this problem by allowing you to have a fully operating Ruby on Rails development environment without even touching your hard drive! Others are interested in developing Ruby on Rails applications in Linux but don’t have the skills or the patience to do the installation and compiling required to get Ruby on Rails running on a typical Linux installation. Rails Live CD allows you to install directly to your hard drive and walks you through the process. No compiling or ./configure ./make ./make install dancing required.

It seems the developer is having some problems with his home server: “Unfortunately I had lightning damage at home 2 days ago and it destroyed the Linux server I was using both to seed the torrent for the LiveCD and serve the ftp link for download. I’ll offload the FTP process to one of the Macs in the house tonight and get another torrent client seeding the ISO as well.”
