Hi, I'm subscribed to the OpenVZ news/blog in my rss reader. Today I
received a notice that the current stable kernel would be switched to the
red hat 5 kernel. Specifically this was the comment:

Our internal testing shows this RHEL5 kernel is pretty good, so it will
replace our current stable branch real soon.


How will this affect current RH 4 systems running OpenVZ. Will we simply be
able to install the new kernel while keeping all of the rest of the system
at the RH 4 level?

Or will we need to install RH 5 and use the Openvz kernel based off of RH 5
to keep our systems up to date with the stable kernel branch?

Thanks for any pointers on this.

Romeo
