I do not think it is al atll necessary for you to be connected to teh
internet to develop a web application, just to deploy it

not all gems are web-centric.
Though many are.

Depends what you mean by "standalone package".

This could be a gem (xxx.gem) or a package for your native Linux version
(e.g. .deb for Ubuntu, .rpm for fedora)

If it's a gem, then you must have rubygems installed first, then you use
"gem install" to install it. At this point you may discover that this gem
depends on other gems to install, so you'll end up going back into work to
get those too :-)

If it's a native package, then use the appropriate native package
installation tool (dpkg, rpm etc). You'll have a similar dependency issue.

Might be easier to bring your PC into work :-)

Regards,

Brian.
