FYI, there is a (stalled?) request for the backport to Ubuntu Dapper 
(6.06) is here:

https://launchpad.net/products/dapper-backports/+bug/50477

There is also this thread about building your own package:

Personally, I've just downloaded rb 0.9.5 source and built it myself on 
the 64bit Ubuntu Dapper and apart from a seemingly never ending list of 
dependencies, that seems to have gone smoothly.

./configure

[see what its complaining about missing, install it and the *-dev 
package, repeat]

make
make check
sudo make install

This replaces rb 0.9.3 which would regularly tie up one core at 100% CPU 
usage... if the problem persists on 0.9.5 then I'll file a bug.
