Ok. I used CentOS 5.5 and things seem to go fine so far (atleast container creation and basic stuff). Thanks for all the suggestions.
Am planning to run latest kernel (2.6.31+) in production. Any idea when 2.6.32 openvz kernel will become stable/production ready? Also, I tend to think there is quite an amount of dependency between the distribution and OpenVZ in the sense the tools do not work everyone - for eg, I initially had trouble with vzpkg, vzrpm etc. not supporting python 2.5+ and I cannot downgrade python in Fedora 12 as there were other (non VZ) application dependencies (including yum). So also wanted to know when these tools be updated, if there is such a plan?
