On September 17, 2007, virtual hosting administration tools provider Virtualmin (virtualmin.com) has released version 3.46 of its Web server control panels, Virtualmin Professional and Virtualmin GPLl. The full-featured Web hosting control panel addresses the needs of Web 2.0 developers and the Web hosting providers who serve them, improving support for Ruby on Rails. The control panel enables easy Ruby on Rails development and deployment in a shared hosting environment, limiting deployment options to just a few Ruby on Rails-focused hosting providers.

Using Virtualmin Professional, any Web host can offer a platform tailored for Ruby on Rails application deployment. Virtualmin's Ruby on Rails support includes a comprehensive UI for installing and managing Ruby Gems, several easily installable Ruby on Rails applications, an instant Ruby on Rails skeleton creation tool and safe deployment of Ruby on Rails applications.

Virtualmin Professional can be easily installed on a range of operating systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5, CentOS Linux 3, 4 and 5, Fedora Core 4, 5 and 6, Debian 3.1 and 4.0, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, SUSE and OpenSUSE 10.0 and Solaris and OpenSolaris 10. Customers can upgrade through Virtualmin's automated package update system. Virtualmin GPL can be downloaded for free here.
