Quick guide to installing rbenv
# Clone rbenv into ~/.rbenv
git clone git@github.com:sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
# Add rbenv to your PATH
# NOTE: rbenv is *NOT* compatible with rvm, so you'll need to
# remove rvm from your profile if it's present. (This is because
# rvm overrides the `gem` command.)
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$HOME/.rbenv/shims:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Removing the crazy amount of hoops you need to jump through to create system users on OS X. I can't believe how painful this is. These thirteen commands are just two on Linux and real BSDs. WTF?
# These are bash functions. You can just source them on startup based on uname
# if you use the same dotfiles for all systems.
