Intro:  
I’m currently using Fedora 13 (with ruby 1.9.1 compiled from source) and  
wanted to learn rails, fedora 13 has openssl 1.0.0 that has issues when  
trying script/server and I didn’t manage to fix it so I’m thinking on  
switching of distro for a while.

Question:  
If you currently have rails installed from gems and working with ruby  
1.9.1 , which distro are you using?

Thanks in advance.

@Kevin M.  
Thanks a lot, I’ve never tried openSuse nor rvm, after your reply I got  
interested on rvm and I’m reading on it right now.

Thanks again, I hope to get another response.

Japmsn, I 've been using rails over ruby 1.9.1 in ArchLinux for a while  
and  
it works exelent. See the arch wiki  
[Ruby on Rails - ArchWiki](http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RubyOnRails). I hope this serves you.

I hadn’t tried that particular version yet. But, it gave me an excuse  
to  
experiment more with rvm, which I’m quickly becoming addicted to. I  
installed ruby 1.9.1 via rvm, then performed a gem install rails. I  
took a  
couple of test projects for a spin and all appears well. Well, with one  
of  
the projects which had paperclip installed I had to change the case  
statement syntax in vendor/plugins/paperclip/lib/paperclip/storage.rb to  
use  
the 1.9.x syntax. But, other than that all appears well. I’m running  
OpenSuSE this week.

I’ve never used Ruby 1.9, but with 1.8, I’ve been very happy with  
Ubuntu, both with MRI and Ruby EE.
