[chef] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 -- good for chef?

[Jacobo García < >]

It's better to go after 9.10 or 10.04 since Opscode builds chef ubuntu
packages for this distributions which makes chef-server easier to
start. For chef 0.8 this packages are still on testing so they are not
reliable 100%, but you might want to give them a try.

Also there's no couchdb packages for 8.04 so you have to compile
erlang & couchdb from scratch.

Regarding to clients there's no problem at all with going with 8.04,
many people are running sucessfully chef-client in 8.04 since all you
have to install is a couple of gems.

Hope this helps.
