It is highly recommended to use OpenVZ containers and virtual machines with this Virtuozzo installation image. See [[Virtuozzo]].
=== Using Virtuozzo management tools with vanilla Linux kernel ===
: See [[OpenVZ with upstream kernel]]. There is ability to use OpenVZ containers in vanilla kernel. But there some disadvantages: * Some required changes may be absent in Linux kernel on your machine. Our [[Virtuozzo]] distributive based on Cloud Linux andwe strongly recommend to use it if you don't want to install Virtuozzo Linux distributive for some reasons. Cloud Linux kernel contains some important changes absent in another kernels (even RHEL kernels).* It is required to create to have separate partition mounted to /vz.
