If you're new to Rails, Apache + Passenger (as mentioned above) is the most 'straightforward' way to go.

Having a good caching strategy is probably the best way to increase requests/second — before looking at Varnish though, I'd make sure you're handling your fragment caching properly and with enough granularity. See the Rails Guide on caching for more on this.

Also, if you're using Apache, Google has a mod that optimizes your configuration and can significantly improve your performance http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/module.html

You have many alternatives. A good idea is to choose an application server and put it (or many) behind a web server or 'reverse proxy':

Web servers:

Both of these will handle a lot of traffic well. I'd suggest starting with Apache.

Behind your web server you then need one or many application servers:

If I were you I'd start with Passenger and see how you get on.

On top of that, consider putting Varnish in front of your application for a significant requests/second increase for repetitive tasks.
