Things I Learned Today

Ruby on CentOS. CentOS 5.6 comes with Ruby 1.8.5, not 1.8.7. Why? But building Ruby from source and installing on CentOS 5.6 over 1.8.5 seems easy enough.

Git on CentOS. Nowhere to be found, but building from source is also easy enough.

Ruby on Windows 7. Easy to install and build from source. Having it recognise .rb files as Ruby scripts is cool.

Git on Windows 7. msysGit comes with a some useful Unix stuff like bash, openSSH, vi, etc.... Also easy enough to install.

My Ruby code on Windows 7. Seems to have an issue with recursive directory deletion. So I have run right into one of those undocumented non-cross-platform Ruby things.
