Warning.svg Warning: this page is still in development, do not expect working links etc.

An OpenVZ kernel is the central part of OpenVZ. We maintain a few branches, based on different kernels. Below you'll find a link to all of them. For installation info, check quick installation.

If you are not sure which kernel to download, use RHEL5 (on any distro).

Stable

These are stable, supported branches which we take care of.

RHEL4
Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel (2.6.9 based). Super stable.
RHEL5
Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel (2.6.18 based).Stable.
2.6.18
Based on vanilla 2.6.18. Less stable, does not contain all the security fixes which are in RHEL5. Use for distro kernels which maintain their own security patches (such as Debian).

Development

These are development, bleeding edge branches. Use at your own risk.

2.6.24
Based on vanilla 2.6.24.

Old stuff

These branches are not developed/supported anymore. They are here mostly for the historical reasons. Do not use it.
