add a big fat warning

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''').
this command will install latest kernel and all required packages like:
<pre>
apt-get install iproute libatm1 linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 linux-image-openvz-686 rsync vzctl vzquotalibcgroup-dev
</pre>
and will arrange grub bootloader properly.
