+* What's Ruby
+
+Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
+easy object-oriented programming.  It has many features to
+process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
+Perl).  It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
+
+
+* Features of Ruby
+
+  + Simple Syntax
+  + *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
+  + *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+  + Operator Overloading
+  + Exception Handling
+  + Iterators and Closures
+  + Garbage Collection
+  + Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
+  + Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
+    Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)
+
+
+* How to get Ruby
+
+The Ruby distribution files can be found in the following FTP site:
+
+  ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/
+
+The latest source code of this version series can be checked out
+through SVN with the following command:
+
+  $ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_8_6/
+
+The trunk of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the
+following command:
+
+  $ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ ruby
+
+There are some other branches under development.  Try the following
+command and see the list of branches:
+
+  $ svn ls http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/
+
+
+* Ruby home-page
+
+The URL of the Ruby home-page is:
+
+   http://www.ruby-lang.org/
+
+
+* Mailing list
+
+There is a mailing list to talk about Ruby.
+To subscribe this list, please send the following phrase
+
+	subscribe YourFirstName YourFamilyName
+e.g.
+        subscribe Joseph Smith
+
+in the mail body (not subject) to the address <ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org>.
+
+
+* How to compile and install
+
+This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
+
+  1. If ./configure does not exist or is older than configure.in,
+     run autoconf to (re)generate configure.
+
+  2. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.
+
+  3. Edit defines.h if you need.  Usually this step will not be needed.
+
+  4. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup (or
+     add module names if not present), if you want to link modules
+     statically.
+
+     If you don't want to compile non static extension modules
+     (probably on architectures which does not allow dynamic loading),
+     remove comment mark from the line "#option nodynamic" in
+     ext/Setup.
+
+  5. Run make.
+
+  6. Optionally, run 'make test' to check whether the compiled Ruby
+     interpreter works well.  If you see the message "test succeeded",
+     your ruby works as it should (hopefully).
+
+  7. Run 'make install'
+
+     You may have to be a super user to install ruby.
+
+If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with
+the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
+
+
+* Copying
+
+See the file COPYING.
