Hi, I’ve found very few documentation pages about DRb… The rdoc pages  
([http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/drb/rdoc/index.html](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/drb/rdoc/index.html)) are poorly  
documented and most of the web links provided are 404 or Japanese

Does somebody have links to tutorials about details and in depth DRb  
programming ?

Thanks
