Jonathan, I use Ubuntu on a daily basis to develop rails applications and deploy them to heroku.
I strongly suggest to use rvm http://beginrescueend.com/ to install ruby on Ubuntu, instead of installing ruby and its dependencies using apt-get. It may seem a little overwhelming at first but if you spend 15 minutes reading the docs you will understand it. I wote a blog post a year ago http://blog.hectorsq.com/how-to-install-rails-3-on-ubuntu, it is now a little outdated but you will get the idea.
