Subject: Ruby Installation

Hi
   I have installed ruby from fedora repository (fedora12) with

yum install ruby ruby-devel ruby-docs ruby-irb ruby-libs ruby-mode
ruby-rdoc ruby-ri

   And I got ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-08-04 patchlevel 383) [i386-linux]

     This I did 2 months back . Now I am asked to repeat this process on
another machine. So my question is where can I find the same above
version with same patch . I looked in
www.ruby-lang.org   It says about 1.8.7 and 1.9.1

     My second question is if I install 1.8.7 from source on the next
machine, will the application work? So what is the preferred way
Installing ruby from source or from a repository like fedora in my case?


Thanks
Tom
