(1) "Doesn't work" or "failed" are not adequate descriptions of a 
problem. Report the full detail of exactly what you did and what you 
saw. For more info see
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro

(2) Questions about Rails are best asked on a Rails mailing list; it's a 
very complex piece of software in its own right.

But in general: your choice of Ubuntu 10.04 should be fine.

"apt-get install ruby-full rubygems"

should be all that you need, followed by gem install rails (or 
whatever). If you want to build gems which have native C dependencies, 
then also do

"apt-get install build-essential"
