Greetings, As you my have noticed CentOS 5.7 and Scientific Linux 5.7 both came out today... as did updated official OS Templates from the OpenVZ project. Thanks Kir!
I found a short recipe (http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=13&hl=bold) for converting a CentOS host to a Scientific Linux host and decided to give it a try. It worked great. I created a CentOS 5.6 container, followed the recipe and when I was done I had a Scientific Linux 5.7 container. I had to add a couple of extra packages that aren't mentioned in the recipe and I was able to ignore those packages needed for a desktop system (mostly desktop logos and branding stuff). The final products are a i386 and an x86_64 contributed SL 5.7 OS Template. You can find them in the usual place (http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/): scientific-5-i386-default-5.7-20110914.tar.gz 14-Sep-2011 16:15 157M scientific-5-i386-default-5.7-20110914.tar.gz.asc 14-Sep-2011 16:15 198 scientific-5-x86_64-default-5.7-20110914.tar.gz 14-Sep-2011 16:18 162M scientific-5-x86_64-default-5.7-20110914.tar.gz.asc 14-Sep-2011 16:18 198 I hope to update my contributed Fedora, CentOS and SL 6 OS Templates soon too.
