Ruby and Panther

Does Panther by default include Ruby? I wish there was a list somewhere of what BSD/*nix stuff was included in what OS versions..

'Does Panther by default include Ruby? - yes.

Via 'Terminal' do a ...

locate ruby

... <return>. You should see '/usr/bin/ruby' as per the 'locate' result.

'I wish...'; well, as of present - no such list exists. To see what does exists in ones current MacOS X version, via 'Terminal' - do an ...

open /usr/sbin/ /usr/bin/

... <return>.

A three line AppleScript applet could be created to generate a 'Desktop' based list, in '.txt' format, of all of ones '/usr/bin/' and '/usr/sbin/' commands.

Putting the above suggestion into practice, here are the total number of 'usr/bin/' and '/usr/sbin/' commands - in just several of my many boot able volumes / partitions:

Jaguar's (10.2.8): 602
Panther's (10.3.4): 712
Panther's (10.3.9): 719
Tiger's (10.4.3): 944

Please note that the above total numbers do include several commands I created and / or downloaded, and placed into the '/usr/sbin/' folder. However, the numbers are accurate enough.
