Hi, if you're new to Rails on Ubuntu DO NOT follow that blog post, it's simply bad. Use RVM instead: http://gezope.github.com/rvm_install_script/
First I highly recommend to start with all default settings. If anything works properly and then you change DB for example and an error occurs - you can be sure that it was the mistake. Postgres is good, since you don't need to change any SQL I think locally everything works fine, and remotely you'll like Postgres later.
