Server stopped being able to execute any shell commands because no memory could be allocated (VPS with 256MB memory). This is the third serve we've tried. A lot of other servers that do support rails, only support early versions, which have some notable problems.

I'm going to save the rails development for another project, where we can get dedicated, and truly develop in our own environment.

I run rails applications on a 128MB VPS with 2 mongrel servers and apache 2.2. It runs plenty fast enough.
