You might like to have a look at VirtualRails (http://www.virtualrails.org/) which has had some favourable comments. If possible, however, I would suggest using Rails as an excuse to have a play with Ubuntu. My experience is that after the initial learning curve I have never looked back. It is great to feel in control of ones PC again. One can set one's PC up so that it can be booted into either OS in order to reduce the initial withdrawal symptoms.
