omnibus bundles everything above glibc in a single self contained package, hence it will work out of the box. system's ruby on the other hand might need ssl, readline etc native libraries. But this is certainly possible, we all used to do this pre-omnibus.

another important aspect will be how chef_gem and other resources work. With omnibus you can build your own ops tooling without polluting system's ruby gem set. 

on the negative side, you will be tied with an older version of ruby (currently 2.1, omnibus ships with 1.9),

Thanks Daniel, that works. Thought I would like to know is there any difference between installing chef through omnibus and gem?

Use the enterprise linux 6 packages. It works with RHEL, CentOS and Fedora. If you use the omnibus installer (the curl | bash command) it should figure everything out automatically.

Hi,

So, I am trying to learn about chef. As I wanted to install it, so I went to www.opscode.com/chef/install. Now, I am using Fedora and I don't find any package for Fedora there. I mean there is Enterprise Linux but no Fedora. So, I installed chef using rubygem (i.e gem install chef). How is that different from downloading the package from opscode? Are they the same thing? Plus if I had to download from opscode which enterprise linux should I go for,5 or 6? 

P.S: I am using Fedora 18.

Thanks, 
~Peeyush Gupta
