Your assuming that by saying "would" that I mean "if I had a choice I
would". If I really ment the latter then I would have said the latter.
As a general rhetorical comment, why do people have to put their own
assumptions into text, why can't they just see the communication at
face value, and take it at that?

I run web2py in a way that I get to choose exactly how I want it's
environment to be.

Just because I do not have real world experience, does not mean I
don't know the technology. I know the "technology" very well, its the
real world life skills of programming I am currently struggling with.
Especially since I am the only programmer at the company I work for, I
have nobody to look up to.

I suppose this is another situation where it depends on your needs. If
all you need is one web2py app running on one computer, then it might
be fine with you.

However if you need to run multiple domains, multiple programming
languages (python/php/ruby), multiple users, etc... rocket probably
wouldn't be the ticket.

You say that it will be one less step in your disaster recovery plan,
but I can build a linux box from scratch and have
apache/web2py/postgres installed in a little under 5 minutes with the
help of some scripts that have been developed. I know its still an
extra step but it hardly requires any extra time to setup.

Rocket will be awesome if thats all you need. I however prefer to use
systems that will allow the greatest performance and flexibility.
