You can see the Exceptions hierarchy here:

Here are brief explanations:

List of errors:
* ArgumentError
more or less arguments were sent to a method than expected
* IndexError
I guess invalid index (i.e. reading from array past its end)
* Interrupt
Ctrl-Break pressed (SIGINT)
* LoadError
failure in load or require
* NameError
* NoMemoryError
Out of memory
* NoMethodError
invalid method called - no such method is defined
* NotImplementedError
placeholder - you put raise NotImplementedError into methods that you
plan to implement later, and want to see clearly (e.g. in your tests)
that the method is still not implemented
* RangeError
i guess invalid range specified
* RuntimeError
general runtime error (default for empty raise)
* ScriptError
general error (see hierarchy)
* SecurityError
see $SAFE and taint
* SignalException
probably something with signal handling
* StandardError
general base class
* SyntaxError
obvious
* SystemCallError
obvious
* SystemExit
i guess Kernel#exit raises this
* TypeError
?
