Added bonus: running sudo gem install rails spins for 20 minutes then dies with some cryptic error message. At least that was what happened when I tried to install rails on my brand new macbook air. To be fair though, open source software hates me. This has been pretty much the same experience I've had every single time I've tried to install anything with gem install, apt get or yum install. On every flavor of linux/unix on any box I've ever touched.
