Which tools you could recommend to adopt in Agile development process. I am interested in both: Open Source and chargeable tools. Is there any alternatives to Ruby, anybody used that?

What kind of tools are you looking for? What kind of environment are you in?
I assume you're asking about tools in terms of software that would facilitate you and your team? I would say that mainly agile doesn't need any specific software tools.
One can actually do it without any software, just by using white boards, flip charts, planning poker cards (http:// www.planningpoker.com/detail.html).
If you're in a distributed environment, then probably you'd like to share your charts and other information radiators to your remote partners. Here you still can use quite limited but powerful amount of tools, like spreadsheet (MS Excel).
We use wiki for quite a lot of things - we even draw our charts in wiki. Twiki is really a good (freeware) one to try.
---- A source control, an issue tracker, a good IDE with refactoring facilities, the wonderful CruiseControl is out of this discussion. I'd say they are a must.

The VersionOne ( http://www.versionone.com/ ) is called one of the best. It has free "Team edition" for 5 members. Also it has large, scailable to enterprise level, paid version. So, if you are ready to pay - you may get benefits from using it at all levels.
SCRUMWORKS by Danube (http://danube.com/scrumworks ) is another nice to use tool. It is Java based and has GUI and web-page faces (last for tracking progress). They also have Free and Pro editions.
I know that Microsoft produced "Scrum For Team System" module that works with Team Development Studio (or how do they call their .NET IDE??)

Oh, yes. The taskboard is the best tool for handling SCRUM process!
Boris Gloger once published an excelent article (http:// www.glogerconsulting.de/downloads/Gloger-Taskboard3.pdf) that describe how to handle the Sprint Backlog (including both Items and subtasks) with help of taskboard.
In my opinioin it is simplest and still visible way to track progress (we used corkboard).
But, on the other hand, if you have shared team/environment or need to show progress to external stakeholders it may not work or at least may not be convenient. Moreover, sometimes programmers are so hi-tech wised that using of The Tool is their nature ;-)
