Only the PragProgs know for sure, but why wait? Serious Rubyists will
buy the book.

Does the rubybook package install a CHM format book? I thought it just
installed an HTML format copy of the book. If so, you might want to use
this to find it:

$ locate html|grep -i ruby|less

If, contradictory to my memory of it, it installs CHM, this might help
narrow down the search:

$ locate chm|grep -i ruby|less

Of course, if you find an HTML copy, you'll just have to open it in a
browser. For instance, if it's located at /usr/share/doc/rubybook/html
you might enter this in the address bar of your browser:

file:///usr/share/doc/rubybook/html/index.html

I think that was the path. It's been a while, though, so I could be
mistaken. I suppose I might be especially mistaken if you're using
Ubuntu, since I used "vanilla" Debian.
