I'm sorry to disagree with this approach, but I think it has a few drawbacks. The best way I've found to install RoR environment on a Debian-like distro is to install rubygems form apt-get/aptitude, then install every gem with the gem command, this will be nicer with gems update, since debian-like distros are pretty conservatives for package updates and, generally, gems releases will be faster that the distros releases. One more thing, renaming gem1.8 to gem will break the distro's policies, I'd recommend you to add an alias or to set up /etc/alternatives (I'm not a Debian-like user, so I cannot tell you how to do this, but you should google that) Cheers. -- Leonardo Mateo.
