All,

I have revamped and revised much of the getting started and installation documentation. The biggest change is the main installation page, where I pushed the Ubuntu/Debian specifics out to new pages.

Installing with RubyGems - this page generically describes the process to install RubyGems from source, add the Opscode gem source, and install Chef and Ohai. It's actually a metapage, there's a "RubyGems Instructions Excerpt" page that contains a hidden excerpt used by several other pages so we have one source and can have DRY docs.

Configuring Chef Server and Clients - this page is where all the "chef solo bootstrap" information lives now. It's still relatively Ubuntu/ Debian and CentOS specific, but at least it isn't on the main Installation page confusing new users.

On the main installation page, there's an Install Requirements section that describes how to install Chef's requirements on a per-platform basis, including how to install Ruby or how to install Chef via platform specific packages instead of RubyGems.
