error{{Warning|This is an unofficial guide, use at your own risk. For an official guide, see [[Quick installation]].}} This quick installation quide assumes you have CentOS 6 64-bit installed with [http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/OpenVZ SELinux and Firewall disabled], and that the containers will be on the same subnet as the host node. The node's IP is 192.168.1.99/24 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1.
