OH, now I get it. :)  Where's that reading list?

We also discussed PXE, http://www.kegel.com/linux/pxe.html , a newer version of bootp?  Used to network boot computers to a linux install image so that you can install your distribution onto a compact flash drive.  CF drives use less electricity, the earth will thank you.

Has_many :through does not provide distinct records.  However, there is a change that covers this, http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/articles/2006/05/06/through_gets_uniq .  Although, it doesn't seem to be in 1.1.6.  I might have to go to the edge just for this.

We discussed the state of rails documentation, like, why isn't there a discussion thread at the bottom of each page like php has?  And how bad will the transition to 1.2 be?  Does anyone have a top 10 list of the things that people should know going to edge?

Last night was fun!

Thanks so much for the summary of topics, guys.  I did a little editing and posted bullet points and links on the wiki:

http://www.phillyonrails.org/community/PubNite2

I can't yet find the link to that php.net-like ruby documentation program.  Maybe someone else knows of it.  It was basically rdoc but rendered as a webapp with space for user comments.

There were some things I wasn't sure about on the wiki page; people's names, topic details.  I bordered those items with question marks.  So hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks.

Great night guys, sorry I had to cut out before the "Take the A Train" discussion :)
