linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-686 is in the Debian lenny/stable distribution.

That's what i am a bit scared, and i must admit that i have several IMHO security critical bugs with this kernel (see http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=8199&star t=0& )

This quote ist from http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian#2_Using_Debian _lenny_repositories
And if you have a look on http://wiki.openvz.org/Kernel_versioning you see that all Kernels above 2.6.18 are development/unstable kernels.
I really thought that Debian only ships very well tested stable software but regarding OpenVZ there is a IMHO a unstable OpenVZ Kernel shipped with lenny.
I am working with OpenVZ already for 5 Years in Production Environment never ever had serious security troubles, but since half a year we have to struggle kernel bugs which needs to get fixed soon to be save from an exploiting attack. Therefore we need a security maintained OpenVZ Kernel which is as recent (in the meaning of security not in Kernel Version Number) as possible.
I really don't want to build one myself unless there is no other way to go.
Has anyone experiences with the Repo from Thorsten Schifferdecker (http://debian.systs.org/)?
I had good experiences with the FZA Line in the past, but thought they were a bit outdated while i was thinking that the debian 2.6.22 is stable.
Are they still a good choice?
Thx,
