add a big fat warning
{{Warning|The majority of the content on this page only applies to older, unsupported Debian versions and is archived on this page for historical reasons only. '''The page you need is [[Installation on Debian]].'''}}
OpenVZ consists of a kernel, user-level tools, and container templates.
For Squeeze, use the Lenny directions.
For Wheezy (7.0), use the vzctl package included in wheezy, together with the Wheezy OpenVZ kernels from [http://download.openvz.org/debian/ http://download.openvz.org/debian/]. Alternatively reduced functionality may be possible using the stock Debian Wheezy kernel (based on kernel.org version 3.2) and [[Vzctl_for_upstream_kernel]].
You may also wish to check the information on [http://wiki.debian.org/OpenVz the Debian wiki].
For Etch users, this document explains how to partially upgrade to Debian Lenny and install from lenny repositories ('''use this options at your risk''').
OpenVZ per-container disk quota is supported only for ext2/ext3 filesystems; therefore it makes sense to use one of these filesystems (ext3 is recommended) if you need per-container disk quota.
=== Repository setup (Etch only) ===
'''If you are using Debian Lenny, this step in no longer required. Openvz kernel packages and tools are available on main repository.'''
==== 1. Using openvz.org repositories ====
Then '''apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade''' to upgrade to lenny.
== Kernel installation ==
On Debian squeeze, vzdump seems packaged in standard aptline. For lenny, See [[Backup_of_a_running_container_with_vzdump]]
== Secure it ==
