[ILUG] Ruby installation

[Gareth Eason]

	Hi,

	I've not tried RVM (because I didn't know about it) but I did find the
virtual machine route excellent for my testing purposes with Ruby on
Rails - with the added advantage that I can snapshot and roll back when
I do something really stupid.

	Best regards,
	-->Gar
