CentOS virt - Oct 2007 - OS Virtualization: Linux-VServer and OpenVZ

Greetings,

So, anyone on this list using OS Virtualization?  I've been using OpenVZ for
about 1.5 years.  I also have some experience with Linux-VServer.

In my experience, if you want to do Linux on Linux, both OpenVZ and
Linux-VServer offer native performance, better scalability, and higher density
than VMware, Xen or KVM... although I must admit I haven't actually tried
KVM yet.

If anyone has any questions about OpenVZ and/or Linux-VServer, feel free to ask.
I have a couple of screencasts I've done, and interview with the OpenVZ
project manager, and coming soon, an interview with the Linux-VServer project
leader.

TYL,

I've just started using OpenVZ over the last month or two, having used 
VMware previously for several years. And I think it was your screencast 
at http://www.montanalinux.org/openvz-intro-video.html that gave me the 
nudge to give OpenVZ a try. Thanks!

I've been pleased with the results so far, although it has been a rough 
road to travel due to the many potholes along the 64-bit host route.

So far, I'm using 32-bit guests running CentOS 4.5 and 5.0 on a 64-bit 
CentOS 5.0 host. I'm currently running production websites and will soon 
migrate production email, ldap, and samba services onto OpenVZ.

Is anyone else here running x86_64 OpenVZ hosts?
