How to use Meteor + Bootstrap:

Simple way: meteor add bootstrap

This demo code uses a variant of the "Better way"

Regarding "Gotchas", trouble areas, or drawbacks:

The compile order is definitely something to review.
- Once you understand it and structure your code appropriately, it is reasonable.
When searching online, such as on StackOverflow, you will see references to mrt or meteorite.
- You will need to translate those comments as appropriate.
- Meteor refactored around version 0.8, as it became more mature.
- I have found it to be quite stable as it hit 1.0 release.
Meteor updates fairly frequently.
- On rare occasion, you may have issues with third party packages.
- You should, of course, thoroughly test before publicly deploying.

Regarding Deployment:

You can deploy (for testing purposes) on meteor.com
You can use Meteor Up
- Meteor Up is great for publishing/hosting on your own servers/Linux on the cloud.
Cloud providers, etc...

Notes

You can find documentation online

I find the documentation to be quite complete and well maintained.
