Hello,

problems like Missing Dependency: cElementTree.so is needed by package
vzyum.

This is a known problem, that probably will not be fixed soon. It only
takes place on x86_64 bit machines. On such machines you have to stick to
precreated templates and use rpm/yum inside a VE to apply updates,
but don't use vzyum. Sorry.

Should I try a 32 bit OS first? Looking for the easy path just
to learn it.

1) OpenVZ fully supports x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sparc. You can use any of these architectures. Don't forget to choose right kernel flavor:

2) As you can see OpenVZ community provides binary versions of
kernel/tools via rpm-packages. So, I guess, RPM-based distribution fit
more than others.
HTH,
Vasily.
