Hi guys,

I am moving to Ruby from Perl for system management scripts and was wondering if anyone knows what a good install command would be to get not only ruby but a lot of the useful packages in Ubuntu --you know: mysql for Ruby, getopt, anything else. I have to do this on a lot of machines in the next couple weeks and only want to visit each once. If anyone has something like a "brute force", install-everything-at-once command they could share that would make me one grateful guy.

I suggest to install ruby from apt, and then install rubygems from the source code. I had problems with some gems from the apt rubygems.
