Could you pls explain in more detail? If NOT running OpenVZ kernel can the Linux guest share kernel? Thanks




i'm not sure if i know what you mean by that?! if there is no openvz-enabled kernel running, how should there be a guest system?
openvz works by only running one kernel (hence the operating system) that is extended so it can run linux-distributions in a container - but that container uses the same underlying linux kernel as the hardware node does - and as windows needs it's own kernel (as does solaris/bsd for that matter) it can't be compatible with openvz.

however, it is possible to also extend your kernel with KVM or XEN(probably virtualbox as well, see: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=34609&) and run windows (or solaris/BSD etc.) with that kind of virtualization technology.

i have no idea, if virtualbox runs in a VPS. i would guess that it won't. anyway, i don't see an advantage of running windows inside a openvz-guest.
