This is a useful resource, but it is a list of files with little
explanation.
May I suggest that the FAQ have a section with questions like:
How do I install Ruby from source on Unix?
What binary distributions are available for Unix?
How do I install Ruby from source on Windows3.1/95/98/2000 or DOS?
What binary distributions are available for Windows3.1/95/98/2000 or DOS?
What is Cygwin and do I need it?
How do I install Ruby from source on Windows NT?
What binary distributions are available for Windows NT?
How do I install Ruby from source on MacOS?
What binary distributions are available for MacOSA?
How do I install Ruby from source on the Palm Pilot?
What binary distributions are available for the Palm Pilot?
Can I install Ruby from source on (some other system)?
What binary distributions are available for (some other system)?
The FAQs for Perl, Python, Lua, Icon, Tcl have questions of this sort.
I think this would ease the uptake of Ruby. Even if these are just
stubs for now, people in the know could contribute to each section.
