I installed Ruby on Rails,I think ;), on a VMWare Server installation of Ubuntu 7.10 using the following tutorials.
To install VMWare Server and Ubuntu:

http://paulgoscicki.com/archives/2005/09/ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu/Total installation time took me about two hours from the start of downloading Ubuntu to finishing the last step.
Now let's see if I can figure out how to program Ruby on Rails.
Update: Bug has been fixed/closed.I submitted my first jQuery bug today, I am pretty sure that it's a bug and not something I am doing wrong, but hey it wouldn't be the first time.
I was trying to use the new jQuery UI to add a drop shadow to a floating DIV. Unfortunately, I was not getting the results I was expecting.
Here is the test HTML I was using to recreate the bug:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Shadow Page Test</title>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.dimensions.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
<script src="ui.shadow.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#Alert
{
position: absolute;
top: 200px;
left: 200px;
background-color: #ffffff;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
padding: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 2px solid #ff0000;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Alert").shadow({ offset: 5, color: "#000000" });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Alert">
This is some Alert text!
</div>
</body>
</html>
Again I was using the Shadow pluggin from
http://ui.jQuery.com but this is what I was getting:

Notice how the three different colored shadow layers line up under the div instead of stacked so it looks like a shadow?
Anyway I sent it into the bug tracker in jQuery, I am
ticket number 1853.
Here are the files to recreate this bug.
