Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I am wondering what the best plan is to upgrade my openvz system.
A short summary of how I got here follows: I installed etch when that was the stable release, and openvz was supported. When lenny was released, the release notes claimed better openvz support, but in fact openvz support had been silently dropped. So, I still feel somewhat betrayed, and still have lenny system running on an etch kernel with openvz on it. With the upcoming release of squeeze, etch will go from being oldstable to being ancient and completely unsupported, so I don't want to continue running an etch kernel. So, I suppose my options are: 1. Take up maintaining openvz sparc support. (I wwould consider this if there are other users who would also contribute, but if I'm the only one it seems like a waste of time. I did have to patch the patches so I have a tiny bit of experience.) 2. Switch to vservers and hope not to get dropped again. 3. Switch to FreeBSD jails and be sad that I'm not running Debian but happy I have ZFS. 4. Switch to OpenSlolaris containers and be even more sad I'm not running Debian. 5. Start a Debian/kFreeBSD/sparc port... (Seems like it would be more work than 1, although it may have more users too.) 6. Use some other virtualization thing I haven't heard of on Debian. (lxc seems like it should be platform independent, but seems to be mysteriously missing a sparc package) So, any advice on which way to go? What are other people using? Should I be asking or CCing somewhere else? Thanks, Ivan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
