I'll certainly agree with that.  Getting mongrel working with mod_proxy 
was essentially an exercise in Google and reading blogs.

Yes.  And, frankly, Ruby + gems on most Linux distros is in such a state 
that I end up maintaining my own Ruby install from source.  Given the

actually driving me to think I should can it and go for the same suite 
of PHP apps as everyone else.
