I am an automation engineer, I've been using Java bindings with selenium web-driver on a windows machine for development of automated tests, however, I am switching to Ruby for developing automated tests, I want to setup Ubuntu at home for some individual development. I've heard that most ruby users develop on Macs because of issues with Gems on Windows.
Are Ubuntu and Mac OS X similar to develop on? as in are the command terminal commands the same as there both UNIX like?
Also does selenium web-driver work with Ubuntu?
Any other advantages over Windows?
