I started the same as you, learning rails on windows, but eventually
switched to linux. I would recommend you stick with windows for now - its
not going to hinder your abilities as far as learning rails or being
productive in rails goes. When you have a good grasp of rails concepts, then
ponder making the switch.

 I find that there is less hand-holding in linux in general, so one learns a
lot more but the learning curve is steeper. As far as development tools go,
Ive always preferred lighter editors to big IDE's, so I use Vim and an
excellent rails plugin that I'm sure can be found by googling, if you are
interested.
