Ubuntu

* Ubuntu 10.10 (EOL)
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
 ? Ubuntu 13.10

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
This version was just right.  All the Gems and Ruby on Rails installed without a peep.  This was left out of the readme instructions

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

Now wait a little while after

jekyll serve

Then in the web browser go to this URL:
http://localhost:4000

I wasn't getting the web site but then I noticed that I had typed 4400 instead of 4000.

Enjoy!

Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium host, Solaris 11 Express guest and VirtualBox 4.1.2.

Pulling out hair trying to connect to my network windows share.  I was making it far too complicated.

1. bridged networking in  VirtualBox
2. go to Places/Connect to Server in Gnome task bar
3.
