Hi
We have an OEL 5.
Which Installation Method based on the operating system of the host is
encouraged.
The manual installation looks tedious.
Thanks
Omnibus Installation [0]
The Chef Full Installer has been tested with Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS,
RHEL, Fedora, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux, and OS X.
You can install it by entering this command:
sudo true && curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash
Cheers,
AJ

Hi AJ
thanks for responding.
I saw the page; looks like it is for the Chef client.
What about Chef Server installation ?
Any quicker method ?
Thanks again.

You can use the new chef-server cookbook to set up a chef-server 11
test environment. I can't speak to setting up chef 10.0.x environments
with it. I have a vagrant/berkshelf repo here, with a test-client
pre-baked, and a script to setup the host workstation with the vagrant
guest chef-server automatically, again, all erchef11 [0]
Someone from Opscode may be more familiar. My mistake.
Cheers,
AJ

Hi Z W,
It's late here, and I don't want to leave you hanging as I am going to bed,
but if you're totally new to Chef and configuration management, you'll get
a better idea of what Chef can really do for you by signing up for a free
account on hosted chef [0] and hooking up a few hosts to it rather than
spending time with the Chef Server if Chef ends up not meeting your needs.
There's no charge, you don't have to put in a credit card, and any host
that has outbound internet access can be added to your chef organization,
whether in a public cloud or your own hardware.
The starter guides and other documentation are now at our new docs site
[1]. The "Getting Started" section in particular will give you an idea of
what Chef does and how the components interact [2] and how to get your
workstation configured and authorized to interact with the Chef server and
your nodes [3].
Lots of people love tinkering with their own Chef Server, but there are a
lot of components to it that don't really have anything to do with learning
actual Chef. It's like trying to run a full blown mail server with
antispam, blacklisting, and virus scanning when you've never sent an email
before. 
cheers,
