it's not bruby it's ruby :-)
you can checkout latest code from linuxconsole's cvs

or there are patches extracted from cvs 
for linux-2.6.1 till 2.6.8.1 here
http://www.saring.de/derdani/ruby/index.html
 
i have (quite havy) patched src.rpm's for Mandrake
which teoretically should work on any distro
my latest src.rpm is based on linux-2.6.7
and is available on any Mandrake-cooker (devel version) mirror
just get kernel-multimedia-2.6.7-....src.rpm
and rebuild it with :
rpm --rebuild [kernel src.rpm] --with ruby

my curent i-net storage is at :
http://mandrake.contactel.cz/people/svetljo/mandrake/
or
ftp://mandrake.contactel.cz/people/svetljo/mandrake/

there you can find older kernel (no)src.rpm's
and patched xorg rpms for Mandrake


best,

svetljo
