misleading error message on ruby version

Hi,

msfcli reports the below message, which is misleading. i think the
recommendation "switch to 1.8.6" is only relevant to Ubuntu or some
others, but at least not for Fedora.

I am on Fedora Core 9, and using ruby 1.8.6, exactly what msfcli recommends.

%ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-linux]

so the message should be fixed one or another way.

Thanks,
J
