Michael,
There are tons of us who are using chef-client on CentOS5. The trick,
which may not be documented cleanly in the wiki, is to use a custom
bootstrap file. Don't rely on any packaged RPMs of chef-client. The
server component is a bit more work.
One thing you'll find, however, is that most/many of the cookbooks are
designed around ubuntu. You'll spend a good bit of time working to
massage those into a RHEL/CentOS world view.
If you need any advice/tips, I'm usually on IRC during the day and can
throw a few gists/github repos your way to help out.
Just look for 'lusis' in #chef.
