Hi Robert,

OpenVZ has been the most stable for my clients. Set up is a breeze and 
teardown / migration / backup is quick.
Small containers with GrowFileSystem and shared memory and kernel are 
actually advantages and not restrictions. Each container root can do pretty 
much waht they want. No Networking issues and the IPs are generally assigned 
using venet (Virtual Ethernet) during creation itself and hence when it is 
migrated, there is no problem if a new ip and / or domain name is assigned 
to the migrated container. Some may have experienced network problems if 
they used shared ethernet in the past, but now all is stable. Try thebare 
metal install from Proxmox - http://pve.proxmox.com - Commercial vendors 
will cast aspersions / doublt on pure open source to prevent mass adoption 
or rather to safeguard their product's adoption interests. Every SourceForge 
mailer will have some for ad for Novel's xen!
The make files for creating the care2x template apart from the care2x code 
will be less than 5 KB. The whole template is a mere 200 MB - OS, LAMP and 
Care2x - preinstalled.

I will post the link to their wiki here when the care2x page there is ready.

Regards,
Ap.Muthu
