Beware where and what you download and use! The OpenVZ7 and the Vz7 are NOT the same product. One is open source, the other one is comes with an aggressive licensing agreement.
Take a look at this thread: https://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&th=13409&s tart=0
Did you carefully read the eula? Are you sure?
http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/7.2/EULA
http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/7.3/EULA
http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/7.4/EULA
Especially this part:
"2.6. Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement and for two (2)
years after termination or expiration of this Agreement, Virtuozzo may
audit, upon written notice to you, your books, records, and computing
devices to determine your compliance with this Agreement and your
payment of the applicable license fees, if any, for the Software. In
the event that any such audit reveals an underpayment by you of more
than five percent (5%) of the license fees due to Virtuozzo in the
period being audited, or that you have breached any term of this
Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies
Virtuozzo may have, you will promptly pay to Virtuozzo any
underpayments plus the cost of the audit."
Yes, It written by lawyers to prevent X and Y and Z. And viola suddenly OpenVZ7 becomes non-existant. You'll not receive any update, any notification, any help unless you accept the EULA and have a support contract. But thanks to GPL you can always have the kernel source, and you can fix every problems (including every changes they made - the changelog is huge), you can compile itself, and you can use it for free!
