Installing Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

I've compiled a set of detailed instructions on how to install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. The instructions are available in GitHub and they show you how to turn a clean Ubuntu 8.04 install into a production ready Ruby on Rails stack including MySQL, Nginx with fair proxy balancer, Monit, and Mongrel Cluster. There are a few additions and improvements I'd like to make:

A more recent version of Ruby
Logfile rotation
Production log analyzer
PostgreSQL

Please help me point what else is missing or how I can improve.

I'm talking to GleSYS about the possibility of offering my production setup as an installable VPS image.
