Thanks very much for this information; this is just what I was looking
for.  If this doesn't make its way into the FAQ (or into whatever David
Thomas hinted was going to be announced) very soon, I'd be happy help
whoever maintains the FAQ put it in.

It's not that I don't know how to search the web, it's just that in
2001, I assume that new-fangled systems actually have READMEs, FAQs,
etc. that will let an average programmer figure out how to install
something without engaging in a treasure hunt.  Given that I didn't find
the information about the two flavors of Ruby, cygwin, etc. in the Ruby
documentation or FAQ, I figure I must have overlooked something.  Silly
me.

Actually, most of the work I'm going to do in Ruby will be on a Linux
web server; I'm hoping to replace a lot of our Perl and Python CGIs. But
before I ask our overworked sys admins to install something neew, first
I want to make sure Ruby as much of an improvement over Perl and Python
as some claim.  So far, my experience w/ Ruby leaves a lot to be
desired.  If it weren't for the ringing endorsements by Hunt, Thomas,
and Beck, I'd have stopped by now.  Here's looking
forward to the H&T Ruby book...

Thanks,
