Please, please correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you associated with a previous Ruby journal effort that seemed to have an issue with taking people's subscription money and then not actually providing anything to them at all? The last I heard (which, admittedly, was some time ago) there was

Yes, Ubuntu puts their own Rails binscript (written in *bash*. ugh!) in there because apparently they hate you and the whole of the Rails community for some reason. Try something like rails --version. And file a bug with Ubuntu because they're the ones who maintain their stupid script.

Dreamhost are using mod_rails with great success actually. You can deploy with Mongrel, but they much prefer you to use Passenger. Don't let one blog entry from some random guy turn you away. I guarantee I can find just as many entries about the crappy stability of mod_php, ASP.NET or any
