SCALE4x flashback

SCALE4x was a big success. I liked the geek spirit there, it was truly an enthusiastic event (after all, that enthusiasm is what makes Linux Linux). A linux guy playing the piano at the hall was just great, to say at least.

My presentation went, well, OK, despite the fact that I ruined my Gentoo partition just the day before and have to set up what I had - a Xandros Desktop CD which they gave to every participant. Indeed, OpenVZ was not designed for Xandros (this will change I believe) but I was able to use alien utility to convert rpms to debs and install it within minutes.

The best thing in my presentation was a short two-minute live demo of OpenVZ: I opened up a green-on-black terminal and did some basic stuff, like vzctl create, start, exec, enter, stop and destroy. That really catched people attention -- after all, this is amazing that you can have your own server within a minute.

Q&A session was great as well -- I got a lot of questions and some food for thought. Say, somebody asked me if OpenVZ VPS can be used for a honeypot -- and yes indeed, this is a great application for OpenVZ!

So far so good, and I'm already anticipating the LinuxWorld event in Boston, where we, together with the finalist of our "Special Offer" contest (which will be selected soon) will be presenting OpenVZ.
