What can PROMMOX VE offer,that Centos-5 can't?
The only failing of EL 5,is its offering of file systems.
My Node server,runs XFS RAID0 for root,and JFS RAID1 for OpenVZ.(this of course,involved some time,in using this type of setup for Centos-5)
Clustering can easily be done,via LUCI.
In my opinion,you can't beat OpenVZ,if and only if,you want "OS to OS" virtualization.
I do in fact,run full PC emulation,on one Node server.(Windows 2003 Server for DNS)
As far as DEBIAN goes,it was always the proverbial "red-headed step child".
If I was using mediocre hardware,then DEBIAN LINUX is the way to go.
Since I don't,I stick with RedHat.
As far as "ease of installation",OpenVZ is not even remotely difficult to install.
Having a "pre-built" OS,for OpenVZ,is hardly a case to judge a level of installation difficulty.
On the subject of "tools",yes,OpenVZ lacked in this subject from the git-go.
So what?
After a few days,playing with OpenVZ,I went right to work on my own "tools".
Being an old school UNIX and DOS user,this was common place.
But,being surrounded by the "point and click" generation,these types of talents,are beginning to wane.
