What the blogger probably meant was "don't use Ubuntu's Ruby" for any serious development (since it's out of date and crippled).
As far as it goes, you can certainly install Ruby with apt-get or aptitude, but I think the response then would be "Why bother?", assuming you're not going to use it anyhow.
One other thing: rvm doesn't really "manage" the system Ruby. You can issue the command 'rvm system', but what that really does is remove the rvm directories from your $PATH. rvm itself never touches the Ruby interpreter or libraries installed via APT.
