I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, and the instructions I gave you will almost certainly work for using Rails 2.3 and Ruby 1.9.1. All you need to do is create symlinks to the ruby1.9.1, gem1.9.1, rdoc1.9.1, and generally foo1.9.1 programs somewhere in your PATH, and you can use the Ubuntu Ruby 1.9.1 packages. By "not everything works"... Rails works, and a lot of things do work. Occasionally, though, you'll find a gem or library that hasn't been updated yet -- and it's much harder to find stuff that doesn't work in 1.8.
