You are so oriented to RedHat - But redhat is not the only distro, and not the most stable. I use Debian for last 7 years on all servers and WS, and so, have to build custom kernel for my installations.

We try to support Debian as well, definitely not ignoring it.

What I mean when I say "use RHEL5-based kernel" is we currently maintain stability and hardware compatibility in this very kernel branch. Red Hat has about 7M of patches on top of 2.6.18 -- those are mostly bugfixes and driver updates. On top of that, we add OpenVZ patchset, plus our bugfixes and driver updates.

The fact that this kernel branch is based on RHEL5 kernel should not stop you from using it on your Debian box. All you need to do to compile your own kernel is to download vanilla 2.6.18, then apply our combined patch taken from http://openvz.org/download/kernel/rhel5, then configure, build, install and enjoy. Certainly there are other ways, too -- using alien to convert binary rpm to deb, creating your own deb, asking Debian maintainers to support this kernel branch etc.
