For development, I run a minimal KDE desktop and use the Kate text  
editor for most of my work.  That and a combination of nano.

For rails work, I have a few machines with lighttpd and fcgi and a  
one running apache2.  For what it's worth, my rails development  
server is a Pentium 3 with 128 MB ram running lighttpd.

I'll also admit that I use Textmate on an OS X Powerbook via tunneled  
ssh connections to work on stuff from home.
