| From a quick glance at the article, I see only microsoft windows screenshots, so i lost interest pretty quickly as we are not a windows shop and have no plan to become one. Just out of curiosity, are these tools available for linux or not? | ||

They're absolutely available on Linux, as well as pretty much any other Unix-like platform. Ruby itself is developed mostly on Linux, while Rails is largely developed on OS X. If anything, Windows is an afterthought.

Your quick glance was a might too quick :)
The author actually dealt with the issue you raise, with perhaps the sole exception being MySQL-Front which is in fact a Windows product.
However, you have but to reach out and choose from one of a thousand MySQL front ends under *NIX.
As to the rest of the tools, of course they run on UNIX. Ruby is a cross platform programming language. In point of fact the author takes pains to mention discrepancies between the Windows version he details and UNIX.
