The book goes through using Linux, so I burned a fedora cd and installed that. I have not used Linux that much, so its a good opportunity to really dive into it. I decided to install it on a usb external hard drive so that I can bring it around anywhere, and update on any machine I have. It has been working out well so far.

One of the first things the book has us do is to set up github, and use that for version control. Github is very similar to other versioning software i have used, but the whole public aspect of it is very new to me. You can view tons of open source software projects on there, and clone repositories etc. If you want to check out my repositories go here https://github.com/teylewr you can follow my code there as well.
I have been trying out different text editors and IDE's, but haven't found anything I am loving yet. I want to try something other than eclipse since thats basically all I have ever used since college, and I want to branch out a bit.
Editors I have tried:
Emacs - wtf is up with emacs... people seem like they love it, but it is so incredibly complicated and hard to find good training on. I wanted to use it but was wayy too confusing and overly complex

Gedit - currently using best so far
Vim - Couldnt get it to work with rails coloring, didnt like it much all around
Eclipse
So far in the app I have created some tests, which are built right into rails, set up some views, and did a few more basic things.
