Heavens -- you make Slackware sound so exotic :-)  Actually the
distribution you're using shouldn't make any difference at all.  (I've
run Ruby on Slackware, SuSE, Gentoo, and Red Hat.)  Some distributions
include Ruby -- and hopefully more will be doing that -- but you
should be able to build and install it without any trouble even if
it isn't included by default.
