Michael, the thing about FOSS software is, because it's free nobody
spends a lot of time nicely sticking everything on CD. Not with most
distros anyways and certainly not on a single-CD distro like Ubuntu.
If you want to load software, you need to temporarily hook it up to the 'net.
The other option is to go with a multi-CD (or DVD) distro that
includes more stuff in the initial install. Even then, I dunno if
Ruby is going to be there. "Bigger" distros include Fedora last I
checked, and OpenSuse. But again, this still won't eliminate having
to hook it up to get more code.
