sudo aptitude install rails only applies to Ubuntu/Debian-like distros. On a team of developers, if you have a developer using Gentoo what can he do? With this binary distribution he doesn't have to reinstall his machine to have a development environment like the other developer's running Ubuntu. Also if Ubuntu decides to upgrade to MySQL X+1, I can still keep my development environment using MySQL X. Of course this applies to the rest of the software packages with LinRails. When you have a team using an RAD/Agile Development the last thing you want to worry about is having incompatibilities in software tools between your team.

LED lover writes "The discovery of the LED is usually credited to four US groups in 1962, but an unrecognized Russian genius got there forty years before. Oleg Losev even filed a patent on using his device for long range communications, and wrote to Einstein to ask for help with the theory — but got no reply."
