The Debian stable distribution (“squeeze”) includes JRuby 1.5.1, which is old.
This is how I installed the latest JRuby:
sudo apt-get install curl curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable rvm install jruby rvm use jruby jruby —S gem install rails

Works just as well on Ubuntu, OSX 10.8 and Bodhi Linux. I also use RVM for the latest ruby – OSX native ruby, for example, is still 1.8
Good to know. Thanks, Brett! :)
