OpenVZ Live CD 2007-01-04

OpenVZ Live CD is an Operating System-level server virtualization solution, built on Linux. OpenVZ creates isolated, secure virtual environments — VEs (otherwise known as virtual private servers, or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict.

Each VE performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; VEs can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

Here you can find OpenVZ Live CD image. It is based on Knoppix 5.1.1. Live CD is a great way to test drive the OpenVZ technology without a need to actually install it on your machine.
