[chef] Re: Re: Re: chef-client failure on vanilla Ubuntu 11.04

a suggestion for documentation clarity ..

i was following this doc for creating an AMI:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Amazon+EC2+AMIs+with+Chef

the doc's chef install instructions focus on gem installing. there's
a mention that one could install via apt, but doesn't remind the reader
to be certain to use opscode's repo. perhaps add that note?
