Subject: [ruby-talk:11099] Re: Ruby in the (almost) news

I've missed some of this thread I believe, but it seems the user is
looking for a distribution of *nix that has Ruby included. Just to
be informative I thought I would add that Ruby is in /usr/ports of 
most of the BSD's....Im currently using it under OpenBSD 2.8

Why limit yourself to Linux.
