I finally made the purchase. After years on Linux, swearing I would never switch, the day has come where I must eat my words and announce to the world how hooked on Apple I have become. When getting my rails environment up on my new machine, thought of how nice an installation script would be kept popping into my mind, hence, I wrote one. Get it here:

mac_ruby_on_rails_installer.sh

You may want to check the versions of things being installed, and replace with whats more current, but, it will give you an idea of an easy way to get started. Enjoy!

Side note, in case your new to unix the way that you would run the script is:

  sudo sh mac_ruby_on_rails_installer.sh

From your administrator level account. Good luck!
