Some months ago I found myself wondering why I had ruby on this box at all. A little poking around revealed that the only thing that needed it was thin- provisioning. Once I'd added -thin to my USE flags and recompiled lvm2 I could get rid of ruby altogether. This won't suit everybody, I know, but maybe it's worth considering. -- Regards Peter
