My advice, as always, is to use Linux (eg ubuntu) or Mac, not Windows,
don''t use an IDE (at least not until you are fully proficient with the
command line) and to start by working right through a good tutorial
such as railstutorial.org, which is free to use online.  Use a decent
editor with ruby syntax highlighting of course.

Hi,

I suggest starting with http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html 
and then railstutorial.org or others, because Getting Started with Rails is 
much shorter yet still demonstrates essential concepts. I''d suggest to
use
the editor or IDE that you''re the most familiar with in order to 
concentrate on learning one thing at a time.

Greg

My suggestions:
1.  Learn object-oriented programming in Python.  Python is easier to 
install, learn, and read than Ruby, and it paved the way to learning Ruby.
2.  Learn Ruby before learning Rails.  (tryruby.org provides a good 
introduction.)  I know that the majority of other Rubyists will back me up 
on this.  Not knowing Ruby first makes Rails seem too much like mysterious, 
unexplainable black magic.  Having a passing familiarity with Ruby makes 
Rails look somewhat less alien.
3.  Go through the Rails for Zombies tutorial at 
http://railsforzombies.org/ .  It gives you a good introduction to what 
Ruby on Rails can do, and it doesn''t require installing Ruby on Rails.
4.  Go through railstutorial.org .  At least get through the first 7 
chapters.
5.  Start a good project that makes use of Ruby on Rails.  For me, these 
projects were Bargain Stock Funds (http://www.bargainstockfunds.com) and 
Doppler Value Investing (http://www.dopplervalueinvesting.com).  I just 
don''t get that engaged from merely going through tutorials.
