After my inital look at lot of users' experiences and comments in various websites, i have decided to start the rails development on Ubuntu. I have been using Windows all these while for all kind of development. But Since most of them stick to Ubuntu or Mac Os for Rails development, i have also decided to take the safe route.
Instead of trying to install Ubuntu in my windows box with dual boot option, i have decided once again to take the easy route i.e installing Ubuntu VMWare image. I downloaded the latest Ubuntu VMWare image from the VMWare website and also downloaded the free VMware player. I am not that much considered about the performance of the Ubuntu OS as of now. So i have decided to stick on to the VMware version of Ubuntu. But i have experienced some latency in accessing browsers and other network related stuffs.
I was wondering about the reason behind the latency in my Ubuntu VMWare OS. Could it be probably because i didnt install the VMWare tools yet. Might be.
I am yet to see how well the system is going to behave after installing the VMWare Tools,
I followed the following procedure to install VMWare Tools.
1) Choose "Install VMWare Tools" Option from the menu in the VMWare player.
2) Then open a terminal and go to a directory where you have write permissions.
Then do a "tar -xzvf <location_of_Vmware_tools_in_virtual_cd_drive>"
3) The above command will untar the vmware tools to the current directory where you are
running the command from
4) Then run the vmware-install.pl command with sudo option
5) Now the vmware tools should be installed
6) After installation, you might instructions/commands to restart the networking related programs.
7) Please follow the commands from the instructions as mentioned in the terminal.
8) And you are done.
