I was using RVM in production on a Linode for a project a few months ago and it worked relatively well. Granted we really used it to install REE and get the environment set up and no more but it worked well enough for that. Of course we didn't use .rvmrc files or anything like that.

Yeah. I actually use it on my very little Linode server.
Would be interested to know what are the exact problems people have with it as I haven't encountered any.

It is probably not worth running RVM if you do any kind of "cloud" thing (1 app per "server"). But for a single server with number of different apps that need different ruby version it's a good choice.

    gems efficient, it also means you can have consistent environments
    both in development and production.
