Hello all,
I'm new here. I've just heard OpenVZ from one of my friend and try it. I have been able to set it up, although just so far as setting up apache on it.
I want to know. What is the strong and weak point of OpenVZ against other Virtualization software such as Xen and Vmware?
|
Strong point: Very low overhead, compared to xen and vmware.
Weak point: Can only run a limited number of linux distros, and no other OS

One thing I notice is that OpenVZ doesn't support guest OS other than Fedora and Centos? Also there's no GUI of the guest OS?
|
It can more than that, but only linux, because all the containers run on the same kernel.

There is no gui of the guest os... probably. I personnally don't mind because I use OpenVZ only on my servers. I think you could run X, but you'd need to connect using a X terminal, but I'm not familiar with that. Or maybe VNC... I don't know.
Please read the manual before asking questions:
