[chef] Deploying server under CentOS

[Albert Llop < >]

Hi there!

I've been battling today trying to update my chef server to the latest version (0.9.6) but have been a complete disaster. We run everything under centos 5.3 so far, and I haven't found much support in that area, since most of the documentation / bootstrapping cookbooks mention mostly only ubuntu support. What would you suggest to be the best course of action? I have a very small environment of only 5 clients, preparing for a bigger future, so scrapping everything can be considered. Would it be worth it to create a new chef server on an ubuntu based system, keep battling, or just wait for the rpm's to be updated?

Is there anyone else hosting the server in a centos that can share his experience?
