Hi, everyone!

I’m here to inform all of you that my installation of the latest
version of Ruby 1.8.6, doing all the required test to confirm its

Hi Neurochild,
can I ask u how u did this? Debian is still using 1.8.5 and I want to
upgrade it to 1.8.6.p287. Did you compiled it from source? If so, it
will conflict with the version I installed with aptitude? What do I need
to change (paths/conf…).

Thanks,
Andrea
