Description
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. Written in Ruby, Rails lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. The result is a web framework that allows you to transition from idea to implementation in a very short period of time.

It's a free, pre-integrated turnkey server which is packaged as a single universal image capable of supporting installations on both physical and virtual machines, including VMware, Xen, VirtualBox, and KVM.

About TurnKey Linux
The largest Linux distributions have over 23,000 packages which are free for both commercial and non-commercial uses, including updates. However, currently it can still take considerable skill and effort to cherry-pick the right components and glue them together into a compelling solution.
To help unlock this potential we started TurnKey Linux, a community-oriented open source project developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios.
To maximize leverage and provide a consistent user experience, TurnKey Linux appliances are all built on top of TurnKey Core, a 100MB base appliance, from which they inherit the standard features which are common to all TurnKey appliances.
