As Gavin said, that was user error.  Leopard comes with a perfectly fine 
Ruby installation already.

Get your facts straight, Phlip.  In most Mac apps, Home and End *do* go 
to the beginning and end of the line.  Generally Cmd-Home goes to the 
beginning of the file.

(And on my laptop, there's no keystroke benefit anyway; Home and End 
need the Fn key, and because of the key layout, I can do Ctrl-A and 
Ctrl-E with one hand.)

Absolutely.  Linux is great for servers, but I'll take Mac OS for a 
desktop OS any day.

And I have to say, Phlip, I really think that you are God's Gift to 
Testing, but I'm not sure why you feel it necessary to post 
mean-spirited, inaccurate information like this in other subject 
areas...

Best,
