+1 for this book, although you either need to use Rails 2.2.2 or find the great site I found where a guy created a pdf with all the screenshots of working through the depot program with Rails 2.3.2. That saved me.
I'm traveling right now so I don't have access to my library, but if you're developing on Windoze, [first I'm sorry for you] ...but there's a really good book that I think is called Ruby on Rails for Microsoft Developers. It has a lot of insight on the challenges you will face setting up your box up through deployment.
