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.

Web site stats | LKML | SCALE4x

Assorted bits and pieces from the OpenVZ life.



January is over and I can share some web site stats with you. We had more than million hits so below numbers should be fairly representative.

While openvz.org is a Linux-oriented site, still the majority of visitors (59.2%) are coming from Windows boxes, Linux is number two with 32%, Mac users are 3.9%.

You might think that since most visitors are on Windows, they use MSIE. Well that's not true: 60.6% use Firefox (plus 7.2% are Mozilla users), MSIE is number two with only 19%. That really amaze me!



We have posted an announce to LKML about 2.6.15 kernel patch set today.



I will be giving a talk at SCALE4x - Southern California Linux Expo, February 12, 2006, Los Angeles, USA. It will be an introductory presentation about what OpenVZ is and what it can do for you.

OpenVZ based on 2.6.15 kernel is out

OpenVZ has just released its first beta kernel based on 2.6.15. I believe this is a great achievement for the project.

From now on, we will be maintaining these two branches in parallel, until 2.6.15-based series will be stable (and probably even after that).

If you want to install this new beta kernel, you don't have to do anything special -- just install and reboot. And, yes, post all your bugs to our bugzilla bug tracking system.
