(will use Z for OpenVZ and S for Linux-VServer)

 Z: the announcement reads "first stable OVZ version"

 Z: afaik they are redhat oriented (and recently
    trying to get gentoo support done)
 S: L-VS is in sarge (although with older/broken packages)
    but either using recent packages or compiling the tool
    yourself works pretty fine on debian
