Playing with OpenVZ

Filed in archive Servers on May 13, 2007

Not too long ago, I wrote about how you can install OpenVZ. Just in case you cannot find the time (or patience) to set it up, you can now play with OpenVZ without installing it. Today, OpenVZ is available as a Linux LiveCD, i.e., just insert CD and boot-up your computer and that is it - nothing to mess with your HDDs. :)

"This is the first time we've been able to offer our open source OS virtualization in this format, which provides users a risk-free way to test OpenVZ, along with the Knoppix distribution," said Kir Kolyshkin, manager of the OpenVZ project. "Knoppix is very popular with hobbyists and Linux enthusiasts who can now try our open source virtualization software, which is in keeping with our objective to promote OS virtualization."

So, what are you waiting for? Try out all the new virtualization software and decide which one is best for your home computer and/or enterprise system.
