Is it possible to install Ruby 1.9.2 on Ubuntu not using RVM?

On current versions of Ubuntu, aptitude install ruby1.9.1
installs YARV 1.9.2-p0.
You can easily install Ruby from source. Depending on how you configure it it can go into /usr/local/bin, which is the default, or to a directory you specify using the --PREFIX option.
I'd recommend using RVM though. It does a great job for an individual developer, and supports systemwide configurations if you're the admin. If you're after a system-wide config this might help, especially the section at the bottom discussing the advantages. http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/deployment/system-wide/
