Catridge is the library/application/framework required for software
development like Django, Ruby On Rails, PHP, Cron, Pear, Perl, Jboss etc.
Just want to clarify, A gear is like a VM and if it got all the
libraries and tools required to run Node.js 0.10, then you can say you
are running 'nodejs-0.10' cartridge in that gear.
OpenShift provides 3 free gears and you have lot of cartridges to run on
those 3 gears like 'ruby-1.9', 'php-5.4', 'perl-5.10', 'mysql-5.5',
'mongodb-2.4','haproxy-1.4' etc.,
Apart from git, you have to install rhc (red hat client) to manage your
openshift activities through commandline. rhc is a ruby app can be
installed using gems.
Well, this is one of the place where you can have your own website
without spending money. I have mine.

explains better (notable are heroku, appfog)
