Priority may vary for each distribution. Thanks for the information. I found a contributed package on the redhat site http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/ruby-1.6.1-1.i386.html and now the service provider is looking into it. "I'll have to check into it with on of my techs to see if it will cause us any grief on our web servers. It may take a couple of days before I can get back to you." I'll post back to the newsgroup when I get a reply, but I'm hopeful that we might have a commercial service provider willing to support Ruby. Pete
