If you are like me using ubuntu 10.10 & cant find the lastest version which is now

• ruby1.9.3

this is where you can get it http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/brightbox_ruby_ng_experimental/maverick/main/base/ruby1.9.3

or download the *.deb file :)

& remember that it wont alter you old version of ruby
