[Chef] Check node architecture

Raw

gistfile1.rb

	case node[:languages][:ruby][:host_cpu]
	when "x86_64"
	when "i686"
	end

This is the only solution I found when looking for node architecture. I found a better looking solution while testing in chef-shell though. While Ruby will always be on a Chef node (AFAIK) using node[:kernel][:machine] provides the same output and is an automatic attribute.

Also handy is using #{ 'amd64' if node['kernel']['machine'] == 'x86_64' else 'i386'} if you were attempting to replicate ${ARCH} as described in many shell scripts when trying to download the right deb/rpm/etc.
