The user shouldn't need root, and you can always switch users to root if you need. I ran into issues before trying to use rvm with Apache, which was why I have avoided using rvm in production. It's probably fine now. Yeah that’s a good point. The user shouldn’t need root, and you can always switch users to root if you need.

When I asked them why they told me it is a huge security vulnerability. Lately I've used rvm at the deploy user level and have had no problems, this way the deploy user controls the ruby and gem installations, but the root user still has to make sure that all of the dependencies are installed.

This is more for production or staging due to the inclusion of Nginx and passenger. However you can just skip that step and you'd be setup to run Rails in development with the default server.

Seeing as my previous project Keryx was basically rewriting apt-get in Python, I'm definitely way more familiar with it than CentOS.  I've also had some issues with really old packages in CentOS in the past that kind of put me off when I did try it. In the end it's mostly a personal preference thing I think. I’ve just always used Ubuntu myself.
