Here you can find OpenVZ Live CD images. Live CD is a great way to test drive the OpenVZ technology without a need to actually install it on your machine.
We offer two three live CDs at the moment. The first one is based on Knoppix 5.1.1 and , the second one is based on Centos CentOS 4.4, and the third one is the "official" [http://www.openwall.com/Owl/ Openwall GNU/*/Linux (or Owl)] CD (live & installable).
== Download ==
The precreated ISO images for Knoppix and CentOS are available directly from [http://download.openvz.org/livecd/ download.openvz.org/livecd/] or any of the [[download mirrors]]. The ISO images for Owl are available from the [http://www.openwall.com/Owl/DOWNLOAD.shtml Openwall FTP mirrors], such as via the links below (which use a specific fast mirror).

** debian-3.1-i386-minimal
to free disk space for OpenVZ packages and templates.
* vzctl 3.0.16
* vzquota 3.0.9
plus the a number of precreated templates:
* Debian 3.1 minimal
* CentOS 4 minimal
* Frozen Bubble
The above packages were taken out to make some room for OpenVZ packages.
=== Owl CD contents ===
This CD uses the following OpenVZ components:
* kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5.028stab064.8 (from OpenVZ's "rhel5" branch, with very minor changes for Owl)
* vzctl 3.0.23 (with minor enhancements and customizations by ALT Linux and Owl teams)
* vzquota 3.0.12
The live system is a full install of the Owl userland, including networking clients, servers, as well as "development" tools and libraries (C, C++). It also includes installable packages, the installer program, full source code, and the build environment. Unfortunately, it does not include pre-created container templates, but you may either configure networking (with "setup") and download a pre-created template to RAM, or you may use "make vztemplate" to create a new template of the Owl userland right on the CD-booted system.
== Changelog ==
* 7 May 2007, initial version based on Knoppix 5.1.1
* 5 July 2007, version based on Centos CentOS 4.4* 29 January 2010, added Owl
