[chef] Re: Re: Ruby for Chef

I'll third the full-stack installer. There are (still?) some issues to
be worked out around gem specific stuff (i.e. you manage ruby apps and
you also use chef. Where does the gem package provider install the
gem?) but I'm pretty damn impressed.

If you can do it, I'd also suggest using the hosted platform for now
and not shave the server yak just yet. Having said that, I had
absolutely no problems installing the server on the current ubuntu
LTS. If you treat the server as a turnkey service, then you don't get
caught up in politics around distro choices. Management of it is
fairly hands off anyway (at least till you get to a certain size).
