I think there's a bunch of people in Fedora using Ruby though, they're just not as much part of the Ruby camp as the other people in the Ruby camp, I guess ;-)
While many Ruby people develop on Macs, I doubt too many deploy to Mac servers - thus, I bet Ruby on Fedora is used more often on the server. Of course some of us run only Fedora on our MacBooks :)
I'd say CentOS and RHEL are quite popular for deploying ruby :-). Running ruby apps on CentOS is a big part of I became a Fedora contributor. We wanted haproxy, beanstalk and nginx available as rpms, and now they are.
