Did you try typing "Ruby IDE" into a search engine?

Not really sure about an ide for linux.

I use ubuntu as well, but I find it easy just to use the terminal and emacs. That way I can use IRB too. Personally I think you'd be better off this way, but I'm pretty sure that netbeans has a great ruby ide...but not sure for linux.

Edit to change erb to irb

Third link in a Google search for "Ruby IDE", like I said.

netbeans is pretty good although it can be a bit slow at times, most any combination of a decent text editor and the terminal will work

For a language like Ruby there's no real need for IDE like in Java or C# for example, but if you insist - Netbeans, Aptana, RubyMine. Appart from those bloated and slow apps you can use vim, emacs, gedit, scribes and other similar text editors.
