OK - I want to learn this OpenVZ stuff and test it out. Started fooling around with my FC6 box and running into a few problems like Missing Dependency: cElementTree.so is needed by package vzyum.
So - before I waste a lot of time I want to start out right and maybe someone can tell me if I have the right idea.
I want to run what will eventually be some sort of cluster of boxes that can do some of the kool stuff I've read about like moving VEs from one computer to another. I'm thinking Athlon AM2 socket dual core with maybe 8 gigs of ram for hardware. I want to run a 64 bit operating system, but as host and VE.
I prefer FC6 because I'm familiar with it but will settle for something else if someone tells me why I should.
So - I want to be somewhat successful early in testing so I'm thinking I might build up a box just for trying this out. And I'm looking for whatever is easiest to get something working so that I can learn it and maybe go back and do it right later.
So - what hardware should I try? What OS is most compatible? Should I try a 32 bit OS first? Looking for the easy path just to learn it.
Thanks in advance.

This is a known problem, that probably will not be fixed soon. It only
takes place on x86_64 bit machines. On such machines you have to stick to
precreated templates and use rpm/yum inside a VE to apply updates,
but don't use vzyum. Sorry.

1) OpenVZ fully supports x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sparc. You can use any of these architectures. Don't forget to choose right kernel flavor:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Different_kernel_flavors_%28UP%2C_SMP %2C_ENTERPRISE%2C_ENTNOSPLIT%29
2) As you can see OpenVZ community provides binary versions of
kernel/tools via rpm-packages. So, I guess, RPM-based distribution fit
more than others.
HTH,
Vasily.

well I get:
Error: Missing Dependency: cElementTree.so is needed by package vzyum
[root@fast ~]# updatedb
[root@fast ~]# locate ElementTree
/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/cElementTree.so
so the question really is, where is it looking for the dependancy ? cause it should be able to be simply symlinked to point to the right place.
