User setup
http://articles.slicehost.com/2010/4/30/ubuntu-lucid-setup-part-1
(follow all the steps up until ipTables)

Install essentials and compilers
# sudo aptitude update
# sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g zlib1g-dev

Install CURL
# sudo apt-get install curl

Install GIT and Ruby/Rails
http://aaronvb.com/articles/38-setting-up-an-ubuntu-server-with-ruby-1-9-2-and-rails-3-1

Install MySql
# sudo apt-get install mysql-server
# sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev

Setup Deploy
Use above link again

Setup Apache and Passenger
# sudo aptitude install apache2
# rvmsudo gem install passenger
# sudo apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev
# sudo apt-get install libapr1-dev
# sudo apt-get install libaprutil1-dev
# rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module
(Some of these items will have likely been installed in previous steps)

Add these lines to Apache config file (probably at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf):
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.13/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320/gems/passenger-3.0.13
PassengerRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p320/ruby

Keep going with above link to create a virtual host for the default site

If you have issues with deploy (can't find Bundle), add this to your Capfile:
  $:.unshift(File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path'])) # Add RVM's lib directory to the load path.
  require "rvm/capistrano" # Load RVM's capistrano plugin.
