Every major operating system is capable of unzipping files. This includes even most major smartphones, sans iphone (unless jailbroken). If you are simply trying to learn ruby a good place to start would be with why's poignant guide to ruby and tryruby.org. As for building applications, if you can't even unzip a file, python, php, even c# won't be any eaiser. Best of luck.
