[dba-Tech] Ubuntu thin client

The two applications, Node.js and Ruby on Rails are mostly full server based
products and real men, Linux IT people, don't use GUIs, sorry to say, so to
install the two applications follow the instructions. In the unlikely event
that you run into issues Hans knows everything. ;-)

To install Node.js

Open a command terminal window
Dash home > Terminal

As soon as you enter any command session with sudo... you will be prompted
for your administrators username and password.

Open Firefox, (I like Chrome so I always installed it right away) shown at
the left and go to the following site: 
http://www.naumann.cc/?p=312

Note: you will have to compile node.js so it will run more reliably. Then
follow the instructions; just cut and past the shown commands in the order
they are given.

How to install Ruby on Rails

Just like Node.js it is all a manual installation process. If it was more
popular on the desktop edition of Ubuntu it would be in the "Ubuntu software
center" and have an easy script already but such are Linux programmers who
have to (like to) do everything the hard way. ;-)

 Thank you, Hans --

Maybe in the (near) future I will have a look at node.js and Ruby on Rails.
Currently I can't find how I can get them installed via Ubuntu Software
Center (and I have just got successfully installed Mono Runtime and
MonoDevelop).

But I can't find node.js and Ruby on Rails via Ubuntu Software Center.
Should I use some other ways to get them installed?

Thank you.
