The advice above is generally pretty good -- for best results build your
own Ruby packages, etc. etc.
One thing I can add: Given that even RHEL 5 has a pretty ancient Ruby, you
might want to run puppet agent via cron jobs (with --splay) instead of as a
daemon. The daemon is generally okay on Ruby 1.8.7 with a modern patch
number, but 1.8.5 leaks memory like a sieve with long-running processes.
('Puppet resource' code for creating the cron jobs is the second example in
this section: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html#with-cron)
