Subject: Vim two space indentation

Hi guys,

This has probably been done before but I've looked through 5000+ emails and I've not seen a simple solution. I'd like to have two space indentation for *.rb files or those whose first line begins with !#/usr/bin/ruby. At the moment vim gives me eight spaces, (or is it a tab?).

I have the following lines in ~./vimrc

set nocompatible
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on
filetype indent on    " Enable filetype-specific indenting
filetype on           " Enable filetype detection

I also have the following files;
/usr/share/vim/vim63/ftplugin/ruby.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim63/compiler/ruby.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim63/indent/ruby.vim 
/usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/ruby.vim
