Miscellaneous topics: move "Limitations" to be the first topic
== Miscellaneous topics ==
 
=== Containers overhead ===
 
OpenVZ works almost as fast as a usual Linux system. The only overhead is for networking and additional resource management (see below), and in most cases it is negligible.
 
=== OpenVZ host system scope ===
 
From the host system, all containers processes are visible.
 
=== Networking (routed/bridged) ===
 
Does it differ much from VMs?
=== Limitations ===
* Container does not have direct access to hardware such as hard drive, network card, or a PCI device. Such access can be granted by host system administrator if needed.
