You can find the source for pretty much any version you want at ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ You can find the ruby 1.8 svn address here: [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/ruby-core/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/ruby-core/) Good luck! -Jonathan N. ---

One might also using rvm [http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/os/debian/](http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/os/debian/) I’ve been using rvm quite happily on OS X for some months, and just today got around to installing it on my unbuntu box.
