This week's TechMail is Gain fine control in OpenVZ with resource management which discusses how to setup and manipulate resource management in OpenVZ.

This week's TechMail is Create an OpenVZ container which discusses how to create your own OpenVZ container using pre-built templates. I've really fallen in love with OpenVZ; I find it much simpler and much faster than VMware or other full virtualization solutions. It's a real shame that it doesn't work …
