[chef] Installing a Chef Server via the cookbook

[Stephen Corbesero < >]

Would it be possible to use the chef server cookbook to install chef on a system which is not one of the few possible platform choices?  I want to run a small chef server at home for experimentation.  I happen to have an older machine that is not a 64-bit platform, but should be just fine to serve a dozen or so client nodes.

 

If so, can someone suggest a series of steps.

 

If not, why not?

 

In a perfect world, I would also like to apply the same approach to install a chef server on a FreeBSD system.
