After picking up a new Core2 iMac, the first thing I did was set up my Rails environment on it. I hit the normal link from the Rails install page, and went over to Hivelogic.

I've used this quick tutorial millions of times it feels like. I don't even read it anymore, I just copy and paste everything and boom, I'm done.

But about half a year ago I stopped using the bottom half of it. After moving to edge rails for some RESTful goodness, and moving to mongrel for even local dev work, the lighty part of the tutorial was pretty useless for me.

Well visiting the other night I see that Dan Benjamin has updated his famous getting started post.

Here's a quick list of what he helps you get installed, and what it updated.

• Ruby 1.8.4 -> 1.8.5
• Rails 1.1 -> Rails 1.2
• Lighttpd -> Mongrel
• MySQL 5.0 == MySQL 5.0
• + Subversion 1.3.2
