Instiki users - Sep 2005 - [Instiki] newbie question

I''m hoping to get an instance of Instiki running on my domain, hosted
on
"freebsd5 (GCC 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728)"  - that''s what I
found in the
Control Panel of my Zope instance, for those of you who know Zope.

Should I download the Linux version and set it up? Any other tips?

Thanks very much, in advance. I''m very dependent upon help from those
who
know much more than I do.

I haven''t looked at the available Linux distributions, so these
comments are fairly general:

   *  Instiki itself is written in Ruby, so you''ll need to have a Ruby
      interpreter.

   *  The Ruby interpreter can be built, if need be, from source code.
      There should be no problem building it on FreeBSD.

   *  The Ruby interpreter may be available in binary form.  If so, and
      if your copy of FreeBSD has Linux compatibility installed, it is
      quite likely to "Just Work".

   *  The FreeBSD Ports Collection may well have a Ruby binary package.
