We're switching build systems at the moment which is why Omnibus
hasn't been officially released. We should be done in a couple weeks.

Since the Omnibus installers build so much of their environment
themselves, there does not need to be a 1:1 ratio between installers
and platforms. Specifically with Ubuntu, the 10.04 installers work for
10.04 and 10.10, and the 11.04 installers work with 11.04+. The drop
down menu at http://www.opscode.com/chef/install is meant to help pick
the right binary for you so you don't have to know what distributions
are binary compatible with each other.
