It is helping me a lot in my Ruby learning process. It almost convinced me that Ruby might be able to replace Perl for administration tasks (huge amount of available good Perl code and documentation aside). But you'll still need a solid understanding of administration tasks on your system, hence a good command of its command line interpreter. Kind regards, Ömer. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
