Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 Ruby libraries:
So, Thin is the new dog in town. Did I mention that Thin is fast and flexible?
Thank-you Marc Cournoyer !

This one (Mongrel onepointonepointone ) is just a little bug fix, fixing the Mongrel 1.1 mongrel_rails restart bug. Mongrel is a web server, that is cooler than a brick, and if you have used TomCat in the past, or heard of TomCat, you might understand the inside joke (TomCat vs. Mongrel (Dog)).
Most of the cool people who understand this stuff (wink, wink), are letting the cat out of the bag, because a dog is man’s best friend. But this really not really not a cat-fight, or even Cat vs. Dog fight, since even the guy who wrote TomCat has switched to Mongrel.
Update 10-Apr-2008: Mongrel foot prints lead here now.

One of the quickest ways to get started with Ruby on Rails is with Instant Rails. Instant RoR version 1.7 is now available (see v1.7 release notes).
The first package I tried was v1.3, and I was impressed with how easy it was to download, unzip, and get Ruby, PHP, mySQL, and Apache up and running. In addition to the great new Ruby tools, you get PHP, mySQL, and phpMyAdmin in the install package, because that is the quickest way to configure an OpenSource management tool for your mySQL databases.
Includes Mongrel 1.0.1 support.
Very cool. Highly recommended.

What a nice birthday present for me. Mongrel 1.0.1 is released. You can do cool stuff with it.
