Guys,
We are about to use Ruby, and I see that on openSUSE 11.1 the lastest is 1.8.7, but we are being asked to install Ruby on Rails 2.3.2, what's the difference? Is Ruby on Rails something different that Ruby?
AFAIK, Ruby is a programming language, Rails is a web app framework written in Ruby.

Agreed, Ruby has been around for a decade or so, but it never really took off as a standalone language. Then the RubyOnRails was written in Ruby. It has been extremely popular and is still undergoing rapid improvement I believe. When you install RubyOnRails it should have the appropriate version of Ruby as a dependency. It has been a while since I did much in rails, but it used to be that the preferred webserver was lighttpd. fyi: A lot of the new opensuse web infrastructure is written in rails.
