My problems were mostly with the default Ubuntu install. Ruby and
Passanger just don't seem to get along at all with Ubuntu.

The other problem that I had was with a java app, and well the less
said about running java the on a religiously 'free' system the better.

Anyway it was more of a learning curve thing than anything else, the
summary of it is spelled out as "Don't necessarily expect a popular
linux system to support a popular web frame work".
