Subject: Ruby installation instruction for Mac and Linux

Hello,

I'm writing a tutorial, aimed at the non-programmer.  I'm assuming very
little previous computing experience.  (My hope is that this tutorial could
be used by
children.)  It's not finished yet (four more chapters to go, I think), but
you're welcome to peek at what I have so far.  Comments and suggestions are
certainly welcome (as are good exercises).  But that's not why I'm
writing...

In the first section, Getting Started, I describe a Windows installation of
Ruby in detail:  where to get it, what to do, what a text editor is, and how
to use the command line.

Not having much Linux experience at all, and never having had a Mac, are
there instructions similar to these out there that someone could point me
to?  I imagine that Linux instructions won't have to be so detailed, but Mac
instructions really should be on par with what I wrote for the Windows
installation.  Any help on this part would be greatly appreciated.
