Installed snapshot from the fiesty repositories for now.
Now just have to learn how to use it ;-)

PS - Xavier, the link shows a screencast of Emacs set up to handle Ruby
code in a way I'd like to get it eventually. He explains how he's done it
on another page, but that might have to wait ATM. As long as I can get
used to the basics for now, I'll peck away at it after the Uni semester.
