What OS do you use for Ruby development?

I don't want to start any OS wars. I was just curious as to what OS
you prefer to run/code ruby in. If you run *nix, what distro?
Thanks,

Ubuntu

Netbeans on Kubuntu and Windows7. It's the same.

I'm using Ruby 1.9.2-p0 on Ubuntu Lucid (not the standard package
provided in the Ubuntu repos, I compiled Ruby myself from source) and on
Windows Vista. And I agree with the others, using Ruby on Windows is a
pain, exspecially if you're used to making calls to #fork in order to
parallelize processes.

OS X for development.

Linux for deployments, usually Ubuntu or whatever if the client has a
different preference.

I install Ruby from source on most platforms, now generally using RVM.

Windows 7 for development. Also lots of little scripts. Currently
working on my first web app, which will actually end up being deployed
on OS/400 (Although I haven't the faintest idea how I am going to do
that ...).

Interestingly, of the people that answered so far, 60% run Windows,
only 10% run OSX. 100% run multiple different systems. This does not
match the typical rhetoric.

(Of course, the sample size isn't exactly optimal to say the least.)

Ubuntu for development, ubuntu for deployment. Occasionally (when I
have to) I'll edit some code under windows and maybe even run/test
stuff too.

I use OSX for development and OSX Server or other BSDs for deployment.

Geoffrey Grossenbach, Evan Phoenix, Carlhuda, Laurent (duh), Eero/rue, Ben Bleything, Aaron Patterson, Paul Dix and Eric Hodel also use OSX for development.

- My data is on Windows (SQL Server 2005)
- My clients are using Windows (Internet Explorer)
- My other development tools are on Windows

so I decided to start learning Ruby and do my first project on:
- Windows XP with Ruby 1.9.1

OSX, and despite the answers here, at Ruby Midwest, the ratio of Macbook Pro
to non Macbook Pro was probably around 20 to 1.

At work: Windows
At home: Debian squeeze

Redcar as the editor. Which I highly recommend, it may not be as
polished as TextMate, but it's getting cooler every day.

Hello Nick:

For development I prefer using Windows Vista or 7 if the Gems are available on Windows but will use Linux Mint if the Gems aren't available or precompiled for Windows.

For execution prefer running them on Windows (because that's were most of my apps are) even if the speed is a little slower most of the time.

I wouldn't mind an OS war. >:)

/me gets out his Tux bazooka.

All my PCs and Servers have been Gentoo Linux for the last year or two,
so I do all my development with Linux, Emacs, and my .41 Magnum (for
those frustrating moments...)

Recently I've been getting into tiny Linuxs... been on this fix to see
what kind of programs I could get working in a virtual machine with 80
MB of persistent memory and 64 MB of RAM. I'm not sure if I'll be able
to get Ruby squeezed onto it or no.

Debian locally, and I'm using a host service that uses Debian also.

I develop most of the times on Windows and OSX, and also run stuff on
Ubuntu VMs to mimic the production environments most of the
applications I work on are deployed.

Most of the time I use Ubuntu + Emacs for Ruby and RoR development
and, even though, I use Windows frequently I'm trying to avoid it for
Ruby development because Ruby is much, much slower on Windows.
