Ruby upgrade

[Paul Thompson]

Al,

No I have had no problems but like U I have only been working at a
basic level. 1.8.3 is regarded as a no-no for use with rails but as
you said it might have been fixed in the deb. I just thought that
since I am planning to install RadRails I should fix it.

What is the version that you got from Dapper?
