ok, that sounds good, I'll have a try with SuSE.

I've started now with installing fedora-core 4 and updated the kernel as
mentioned, some prebuild VPS are still running. But how can I access now
some physical harddiscs? I need to mount /dev/sdd1 (my data partition).
How to enable the second eth interface?

so you update this kernel with actual patches and the OpenVZ Users could
install the new one everytime it's released?
