Thanks for posting this cogleethorpe. Big thanks to Jesse & gang at Rails Machine for making Moonshine and answering all my questions while I wrote up this guide.
This is great but I wonder if that much abstraction is a good thing for a production server.<p>I tried five run's rails stack on my dev box, it was great at first but once I needed to hack around the backend it was more complicated because not everything installed in the usual places.<p>I now prefer the longer and manual path but the amount of time moonshine would save is very tempting.
