Hi Joshua,

I'm trying to get chef working using your debian package but opscode
wiki documentation apply only when using rubygems installation : there
is no "Getting Started" stuff with debian packages only. For example
your packaged chef-client doesn't need runit as it starts itself in a
standalone mode. And read all the documentation without being able to
test it quickly is a bit frustrating.

Could you please provide two "Getting Started" tutorials for Debian
packages: one for chef-solo as a quick start to see how chef is working,
a second to properly initialize chef-server and clients following the
Debian way.

Feel free to send me your draft for testing purpose if it helps, i'm
currently using puppet for configuration management (after many years
under cfengine) and i'm very interested by the chef! project.

Regards.
