You can also add some checking to Sean's code to prevent it from
running on another platform (debian based for instance):

case node[:platform]
  when "redhat","centos","fedora","scientific"
  package "rabbit" do
    action :install
    source 
"http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v3.0.1/rabbitmq-server-3.0.1-1.noarch.rpm";
    provider Chef::Provider::Package::Rpm
    not_if "test -f /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server"
  end
end

regards,
