Qualify this with : I am a ruby and rails newbie so for what it's worth: I recently started the rails journey and was working in windows using cygwin etc... I switched to ubuntu and originally was trying to make ruby 1.8.7 work with 3.1.0 and it just wasn't happening... can't remember the details of the problems I was having but they were numerous...
I switched to 1.9.2 and rails 3.1.0 and it's been pretty smooth sailing since... still haven't gotten great results in windows but haven't spent much time trying since I got ubuntu working and solid. I do have a friend who works in windows (not sure if he does just ruby or does rails too though).... but he uses mingw which I set up and did feel better about.... Fwiw...

I think I saw that an upcoming version of rails will require 1.9.2 but up till then 1.8.7 is fine.
