Following are some sample comments we've received from OpenVZ users.


I would say, OpenVZ is United States of Linux because i can run all my lovely different type of GNU/Linux distributions(States) on one single machine with one kernel model. As stable as guaranteed for production server and handy for software development (well no more dual, tri, quad boot partition). After all, it is just a good quality software piece for Linux User. Again, welcome to United States of Linux world!!

Thanks for producing OpenVZ, we use it ourselves at PlanetMirror and find that it's fantastic.

OpenVZ has me seriously impressed, I was looking to try virtualisation technology and got OpenVZ up and running in only 3 trips to the coffee machine! -barf


Hello all, just downloaded and installed OpenVZ, and i must say its a big improvement over other VPS systems that i have tested IMHO. [1]


Virtuozzo and openvz are wonderful - I don't know why more people aren't using them. I hear a lot of hype for xen and usermode but virtuozzo/openvz is so great for many common needs. [2]


For my needs, OpenVZ is better than Xen. The one-kernel approach conserves memory, leaving more for applications. And having all VPS in one disk partition saves disk space. A surprise bonus was the template cache management with yum. The ease of keeping templates updated and quickly installing new operating environments is yummy! [3]


Last week when we were in limbo about what to do, it was decided to try out XEN Virtualization. From what is written in the press the Xen system has alot of promise, Features such as opensource with live migration and backups sounds great; but was far too complicated to get working in our configuration. OpenVZ was the only virtual server system that was simple to install and get working. [4]


It still amazes me how well OpenVZ works. [5]


[03:30:15] <pookey> well, I've been using openvz for all of about an hour, and I'm pretty impressed so far :)

I am playing around for years with all major virtualization environments like all VMware products, Microsoft and several xen based solutions. But OpenVZ is the overall winner. [6]


I messed around with VMWare and Xen. I found VMWare to be somewhat over kill and Xen was damned hard to get working. The user community on the Xen mailing list is rather hostile. It looked like A number of people hang out there for the sole purpose of flaming the clueless.

I've found the OpenVZ folks to be very helpful and knowledgeable. OpenVZ is simple to install and get running. It pretty much satisfies my needs. [7]
