Ubuntu=E2=80=99s based on Debian unstable, so the repositories should more
or less match. Also, while I consider Debian stable more stable than
Ubuntu, I consider Ubuntu stable more stable than Debian unstable. :)

That said, Debian (and, thus, Ubuntu) has the rubygems package, which
can easily install any gem (to /var/lib/gems, so outside dpkg=E2=80=99s dom=
ain).

Note: A quick check at packages.gentoo.org indicates that Gentoo
has a rubygems package as well, so this might be a moot point.
