Alright...I need -enterprise, since the server has a SMP-capable processor, and I do have 8GB of RAM and my OS is debian 32 bit.

I'm not very comfortable compiling my own kernel, so I rather use a precompiled image. So, given that... I should use the images at debian.systs.org.

Their apt-cache search openvz gives me:
kernel-patch-openvz - server virtualization solution - kernel patch
linux-headers-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1 - Header files related to OpenVZ Linux kernel, specifically,
linux-headers-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-enterprise - Header files related to OpenVZ Linux kernel, specifically,
linux-headers-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-smp - Header files related to OpenVZ Linux kernel, specifically,
linux-image-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1 - OpenVZ Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1
linux-image-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-enterprise - OpenVZ Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-enterprise
linux-image-2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-smp - OpenVZ Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.18-ovz-028stab045.1-smp
linux-patch-openvz - OpenVZ - server virtualization solution - linux patch
ovzkernel-2.6.18 - OpenVZ - Meta kernel 2.6.18 (028stab045.1) on i386
ovzkernel-2.6.18-enterprise - OpenVZ - Meta kernel 2.6.18 (028stab045.1) on i386
ovzkernel-2.6.18-smp - OpenVZ - Meta kernel 2.6.18 (028stab045.1) on i386
vzctl - OpenVZ - server virtualization solution - control tools
vzctl-ostmpl-debian - OpenVZ - OS Template - Debian 4.0
vzdump - OpenVZ backup scripts
vzprocps - OpenVZ - server virtualization solution - procps utilities
vzquota - OpenVZ - server virtualization solution - quota tools

Whats the difference between these two:

linux-image-2.6.18-ovz-028stab45.1-enterprise
ovzkernel-2.6.18-enterprise

Someone said meta kernel earlier. What is a meta kernel?

Thanks for the help
