FYI, Chiron's switches can either be prefixed by a "/" or a "-" ... so you can 
use a dash if that feels more natural:

mono Chiron.exe -b

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Chiron on linux

Hi

the chiron /b command works on mac and windows but AFAIK it doesn't on linux 
based systems.

On debian and ubuntu systems often there is a package xdg-open installed which 
provides the same functionality as start on windows and open on mac.
So if you check for the existence of xdg-open the experience on linux can be 
similar to the one on the other OS'es.

Ruby code:
system "xdg-open #{chiron_url}" if `which xdg-open`.chomp != ""

Cheers
Ivan
