Due to some gems not working for windows im considering either
installing cygwin or even going as far as installing linux (linux isnt
the evil here, its the partioning and a whole sunday spent figuring out
stuff).
Id rather go with cygwin but ive read posts that mention problems when
you have cywin ruby and a windows ruby on the same system something
about ---ubygems or something.
I know nothing about cygwin and its pros/cons nor how it will affect my
current ruby projects and rails setup.
Do i need to install a cygwin verion of ruby? Can it coexist with my
current version on windows. I dont want to have to uninstall it because
ive just spent 3 days figuring out hwo to get get mysql working with
rails 2.+ that requried multiple reinstalls. Id liek to leave it as it
is.
any tips pointers etc greatly will really help out
