== General ==
===== What is a container (Virtual Environment, Virtual Private Server, VPS, VE)? =====
:See [[VEContainer]].
===== Who needs OpenVZ? How it can be used? =====
:See [[Use cases]].
===== How is OpenVZ different from other technologies? =====
:See [[Introduction to virtualization]].
===== How is OpenVZ updated and why it is secure? =====
:See [[Security]].
===== I want to show my appreciation to OpenVZ and put some logo to my site. Where to get it? =====
:See [[Artwork]].
== Installation and upgrade ==
===== What hardware is supported by OpenVZ kernel? =====
:See [http://www.swsoftparallels.com/en/products/virtuozzo/hcl/ Virtuozzo HCL].
===== Why there are different kernel flavours available and what do they mean? =====
:See [[Different kernel flavors (UP, SMP, ENTERPRISE, ENTNOSPLIT)]].
===== How do I rebuild the kernel? =====
:See [[Kernel build]].
===== What does 021stab018 in OpenVZ kernel version mean? =====
:See [[Kernel versioning]].
===== How can I check package signatures? =====
:See [[Package signatures]].
===== Is it possible to run x86 container on a x86_64 arch? =====
:Sure :) We actually did some work on that to enable migration of x86 container from x86 to x86_64 and back, and to enable using 32-bit iptables in 32bit container on an x86_64 system.
===== What filesystems should I choose for saving my VEscontainers? =====: The safest choice is ext2/3 to save your VEscontainers. Remember that ReiserFS is less stable than ext2/3.: If you choose to use XFS, there will be no support for disk quota inside VEscontainers.
== Networking ==
===== How do I set up VPN for a VEcontainer? =====:See [[VPN via the TUN/TAP device]].
===== What is veth and how do I use it? =====
:See [[Virtual Ethernet device]].

See [[Setting UBC parameters]].
