ROR on Ubuntu package vs gems

Ok, I got a new laptop and would like a good clean env to work on.
every system I’ve setup I’ve had problems using rail package and
gems. what is the BEST way to manage a rails install? should i load
ruby from package and then gem from source and do everything with
gems? or ruby/gem from package and then manage the gems with gem?

I recommend installing only Ruby from the packages, and then going to
http://rubyonrails.org/down and starting with the step for RubyGems to
install that and Rails.
