I was meaning that I use the latest uptodate version
from the debian site via 'apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade'.
Ie. the latest 'testing' version.

When I do 'vzctl enter 101" to login to container #101
then it prints "goebbels". There is no user of that name configured by me.
It is just an indication that the HN admin has logged
to the VE via the 'vzctl enter" command....
Ie. it is causes by vzctl, maybe a joke by the vzctl developers.
One could also have taken "bigbrother" instead... :-)
