It seems totally counterintuitive to me to have to install both of them to get, for example, FreeRide and Scite and Rails. And the last time I looked, the Ruby versions were different in the two packages. By the way, I'm not all that much interested in a Linux version of either of these. My preference is to have things integrated with the native Linux package management system for any given distribution whenever possible, and my distro -- Gentoo -- does a pretty good job with Ruby and Rails. I think Debian is also pretty good with them, although it's been a while since I did anything with Debian. I can't comment on Fedora/Red Hat or SUsE -- haven't touched them recently.
