Fedora on a server...heheheh the idea of that always makes me laugh There are updated ruby packages available in the dev.centos.org testing repository. There's even a repo file there for you to add to make things simple. Enjoy, and be sure to leave feedback about the ruby rpms at http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1173 so we know if it works well enough to move to centos-plus.
