I understand the benefits of RVM (multiple ruby versions, etc...) but it seems odd to me that the best way to install ruby would be to use an unsupported installation agent.
Any thoughts?
RVM does compile Ruby from source.

EDIT: in RVM 1.16 an option was added to install from binary packages when available

What is the new best IDE for ruby on rails development? I have used Komodo Edit and now using Netbeans 6.9.1
"Best" is subjective.
I find IntelliJ to be the overall winner IDE-wise.
I use Sublime Text 2 for non-IDE Rails development. Co-workers tends towards Vim.
Only because they don't want to learn Emacs, the clearly-superior text edit. Aaaand begin.

I want to start developing a new app and I am confused with which version of ruby and rails to use. Anyone please suggest stable versions of ruby and rails which have good documentation and are compatible with most of the gems.
Please refer to Rails Guide
Its the best place to start with.
Start with http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
And this tutorial
You will come to know how to move forward.
Either figure out where you'll be hosting your app and what they provide, or, build using the latest Ruby/Rails versions and then seek out a host which supports those versions.

What Ruby on Rails gems are available to graph data?
This should include the ability to create pie charts, bar graphs, etc.
Please include a link to the gem, its support docs, or a screenshot.
Take a look at http://www.highcharts.com/. As it's frontend stuff, a gem is not needed to integrate it.

i'm looking for a MongoDB administration tool written in ruby (rails, sinatra ...) that behaves like phpMyAdmin but isn't written in PHP or any other language. on my local machine I use RockMongo, which is rather nice, but PHP...
the problem is, I don't want to install fastcgi PHP on our server just for the database administration...
thanks in advance. cheers.
You could take a look at Mongo3 which is Ruby, or check out the list of MongoDB Admin UIs from the official docs.

I'm about start working on a JRuby (on rails) project with high level of integration with Java code.
I have some experience with Aptana. Are there any other preferred IDEs for JRuby On Rails (coding, testing, running, ...)?
RubyMine of course — get it now while it's cheaper than TextMate.
Disclaimer: yes, I work for JetBrains.
NetBeans and Eclipse are good free alternatives. They may require some configuration to play nicely with jruby.
