I picked up a Slicehost account a few months ago with the intention of launching a site some time this summer. I've been super busy with Google and trying to gemify my machine learning code so I haven't had a chance to start using it yet. Well the gem is mostly done and I'm awaiting a little code review from Trotter so I finally had a little time to get things set up.
It turned out to be easy as hell thanks to capistrano and deprec. Capistrano is the handy ruby library for automating deployment tasks and deprec is just a bunch of Capistrano recipes to install the full server stack. I won't cover the details since they're documented quite well in this deprec post by Craig Ambrose and this PeepCode screencast by Top Funky and this post specific to deprec on slicehost.
Thanks guys, anybody who makes installing a full server stack that painless is on my list of heroes.
