Although I prefer windows, I do ruby in linux + virtualbox. While it's 
easy enough to get basic ruby and rails working in windows, plugin 
dependencies are a nightmare. Save yourself the headache. Putty (SSH 
terminal) + virtualbox|vmware + linux server distro (no gui) is the best 
way. I look at this way, any serious rails app will get deployed to a 
linux server anyway.
