Installing OpenVZ on Debian Etch. [message #9615]

I am looking to install OpenVZ on a Debian Etch (testing). Have a few newbie type question:

1)Since Debian Etch is still testing, I'd like to know how stable it is to use Debian Etch. Has anyone run to any issues? Anything I should consider before installing OVZ using Debian Etch as the Host OS.

2) Also, I'd like to get some feedback on how safe it is to run OVZ kernel patch 028test010 right now. Or, should I wait and use the stable version only.

3) I've read OVZ is now included as part of the new Debian Etch version. Is it best to use the prepackage install setup or install from source manually. I tend to think is best to install manually from source as its easier/flexible to upgrade to other version when needed - Is that a right assumption?

Thanks for any comments/suggestions!

Hi

Some answers for you -
1) I have been using Debian testing for about the last 4 months and it has been fine for me.

2) Just upgrade in the last few minutes from 028test0003 to 028test010 so we will see how stable it is. Previous versions have been stable with no problems.

3) I have been using the packages from debian.systs.org but may change to the official debian etch packages now. I have always been compiling my own kernel as it just seemed easier.

Have fun,
Lyndsay.
