Use VMware to develop rails in Windows

This method is very suitable for traditional ipvs users:
1. You can continue to use your usual Windows platform editor,
2. It avoids running rails in windows.
3. Learn from each other: Windows desktop + LINUX background.

Specifically:
1. Deploy the rails application in the Linux environment of VMware.
2. Install the samba service on Linux.
3. Install the sshd service on Linux.
4. In Windows, map the Linux File System to a drive of windows. Directly use the editing program you are most familiar with to edit the code, and then use SSH connection (using putty or securecrt) to run related commands in Linux.

In short, Windows is better than desktop and Linux is better than server. Before you start a Mac, this should be the best solution.

Key points:
1, Linux environment do not install X-WINDOWS,
2. To save time, do not install linux by yourself. We recommend that you directly download various Linux VMware Images of bitnami.
Here I recommend Downloading this: http://bitnami.org/stack/subversion
Reason:
A. Minimum volume, (127.9 MB)
B. The environment is the cleanest. Only one Apache and subversion is installed,
After starting this VMware box, you can delete the services and software related to bitnami Based on the content in/etc/init. RC/bitnami to get the purest and smallest Linux environment.
3. Samba Configuration:

4. sshd Configuration:

5. Firewall Enabled:

You need to activate these ports 21 22 3000 137 138 139.

Other Ruby and rails installation will not be mentioned.
