[chef] version of chef to use for workstation along with hosted chef

[John Griessen < >]

I'm new at chef, so want to be able to ask questioins using the version
most people use, that is up to date, but not buggy.  Hosted Chef needs v0.9.0 
at least.

Is there any advantage to newer than v0.10 that is available with debian 
squeeze?

"Omnibus Installer includes the Chef client, a stable version of Ruby, and everything else needed for Chef to run, in a single 
package."

So are most folks on this list using the chef versions of dependencies rather 
than
debian packages?
