Opening a terminal and typing irb should just work assuming ruby is  
installed in a standard fashion.  Where to find the terminal will  
vary a bit by distro.  Worst case, you should be able to hit Ctrl+Alt 
+F1 and jump to a text terminal on any distro (should be Ctrl+Alt+F7  
to get you back to X windows, possibly F11).  Have fun!
