I know I'm late to the party, but I just couldn't find a guide that documented a rails setup the way that I needed it to, so I just posted an updated Ruby on Rails setup guide for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Precise Pangolin.

The guide includes the basic rails setup with rvm, ruby 1.9.3 and rails 2.3.6, but goes further by documenting postgresql config, some additional bash scripts for making developing easier, as well as some tools, such as gedit-gmate, sublime-text-2-beta, retext and vim configuration for rails development using janus.

If you're already configured, there may be something you can pick up, but if you're looking to set up a new system, look no further...Who needs a mac for rails development?

I just wrote a quick guide to using cron with Ubuntu and rake tasks with RVM. I know it's something I'll look at again, so hopefully some others find use for it.

RVM, Ubuntu & Cron

I just released an updated guide for getting a rails development environment configured on Ubuntu 11.10 for Ruby on Rails development, including RVM, and configuring postgresql for your app development locally, plus some easy instructions for setting up multiple editors for rails development. Who needs a Mac?

I just posted a walkthrough on setting up and configuring openSUSE 12.1 which was just recently released for Ruby/Ruby on Rails development using RVM. Check it out.
