Hello RoR,
When I try apt-get install rails in (K)Ubuntu, all I get is Rails 2.2.3 , what to do to install rails 2.3.8 (the latest version)
Thanks in advance.
With my debian i use apt-get for install ruby but after i download and install RubyGems, after "gem install rails".
When I recently needed to create a new Ubuntu VM quickly, I didn't have my notes available, but I found this blog... Worked out quite well, and it was nice to see someone who keeps a blog up to date.

Kubuntu should be close to the same, but I have zippy experience with the Kubuntu flavor.
I have written a blogpost myself about it, which uses rvm to get to the latest versions.
But you shouldn't be using `apt-get install rails`, but use `gem install rails` instead.
Hello,
I thought I'd plug my own article, using RVM and Ruby 1.9.2. It's for Rails 3 beta but should work for 2.3.8 too. You'll only need to replace the last bit, gem install rails --pre with gem install rails. Also if you want to install a different version of Ruby, simply replace 1.9.2-head with whatever you want. There are links to resources at the bottom of the article that should help.

It would make no difference whatsoever. The only difference in Kubuntu is that it uses KDE instead of GNOME, so if you're using command-line tools, there will not be any noticeable change.
Best,
