To get it running on Linux you’ll have to change RSpactor’s Listener class to use Linux’ equivalent to FSEvents called...
Typing SSH passwords again and again can be a real pain. For example:
Lately I started to use Capistrano to deploy
my rails applications. If I want to set up the maintenance-page on the
server I’ll type cap deploy:web:disable which of course
prompts me for the SSH password. Then I want to deploy my application

password. Finally I have to cap deploy:web:enable to remove
the maintenance page which as mindful readers might have guessed
already prompts for the password. This was just one reason for me to
set up SSH authentication keys. At first I was a little worried that
setting it up might be a bit complicated. Luckily I was disabused. If
you want to switch to key based authentication too follow these simple
steps.
This short tutorial is going to show how to set up Lighttpd with fastcgi on Debian 4.0 (Etch). Actually it’s nothing special but I hope it demonstrates how easy it is. ;-)
