It's not about which ruby you're installing on the system, really |
| 14 |
anything other than 1.8.7 as system Ruby is a pain in the ass at this |
| 15 |
point. |

Using RVM I can have all version and implementations of Ruby and |
| 26 |
multiple gem sets per Ruby as well. That way I can work on |
| 27 |
ruby-1.8.7@rail2 app or switch to ruby-1.92@rails3 which keep the gems |
| 28 |
separate. Also I avoid breaking the system when doing wacky things in my |
| 29 |
dev environment. |
