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?
