On Windows: I have a centralized instalation on one of my servers and everything I have to do is change the system path on workstations: Choose: My Computer/Properties/Environment variables/System variables/Path. Edit Path add ;\\serverName\ruby\bin to the end You install gems on one WS and it is immediatly available on all WS-s. I guess something similar can be done on Linux too. Mount some share and change some system settings. by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
