Although I respect your decision to go with Ruby on Rails (heck, I've wanted to learn that framework myself for a while) I must ask: did you try Django?
I'm curious about this myself. I'm trying to pick one to go with, it's a toss up between rails and django right now.
I don't know. I don't want to advocate against Rails, because I haven't used it, but I've used Django extensively and I love the living crap out of it.
There was a time (back in the bad pre-1.0 days) where there was an argument about how things were too integrated and made using a different template language/ORM almost impossible. Nowadays you can use pretty much whatever you like, as long as you don't complain about the admin contrib module not working.
I'd definitely recommend you to give Django a go. Follow the tutorial, stick with it for a bit (the learning curve is a bit steep at first, specially when it comes to understanding how everything fits together) and you'll probably be happy you did.
BTW, I always recommend newcomers (specially those not familiar with other MVC frameworks) to read this article by James Bennet explaining exactly what the heck's going on when a request is made: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/jun/13/how-django-processe...
