While I know it's not part of the Posix standard, but how widely distributed is Ruby on Linux, Unix and other *nix's?

I ask because I loathe sh and use Ruby whenever I can on Ubuntu and OSX, but I don't want to get too locked in to 'strange' solutions.

most linux distros and unix' i know do not deploy ruby by default, but you can mostly install it after the basic installation with minimal effort.

i doubt that there exist statistics about the percentage of "ruby as part of the core set of packages".
