Thanks. Going over the tattle data is interesting. And it raises a number of questions. (1) Do we need to differentiate between the various ix86 hardware architectures (e.g. i386, i486, i586, i686)? If not, fine. If so, then when choosing among available platformed varients, a i686 platform should be able to choose any of the iX86 variants, but a i486 would only be able to choose between i386 and i486 variants. (Is that correct?) In any case, X86_64 would have to be distinct from all the others. (2) What's up with Darwin8.8.1 stuff. My Mac claims to be 10.4.9, but Ruby is Darwin8.8.1. Is the 8.8.1 the BSD version, not the Mac OS version? (3) Sheesh, 17% of the respondents are running RubyGems 0.8.11. Just haven't upgraded? ... or technical issues with later version causing problems? (inquiring minds want to know). (4) Woah ... the prefix data looks a little revealing. Perhaps that shouldn't be on the download page (i.e. I now know where one prominent JRuby developer keeps his JRuby installation). (5) I'm guessing that 'target' is the platform Ruby is intended to run on and 'host' is the platform where it was compiled.
