[Users] Questions regarding unxsVZ

[Suno Ano]

Ladies, Gents,

I am a heavy OpenVZ user myself [0] and just an hour ago I got notion of
http://openisp.net/openisp/unxsVZ for the first time. Looks interesting
but then I got a few remaining questions/remarks:

 - Why did you make unxsVZ open source? What is your business idea?
 - What _exactly_ is http://openisp.net/openisp/unxsVZ ? Imo that page
   should get a 15 or so line abstract -- take a look at [0] so you see
   what I am referring to.
 - Maybe another 15 or so lines of why I (or anybody else e.g. CTO
   (Chief Technology Officer) of some big ISP) want to use/invest in
   unxsVZ rather than Virtozzo?
 - Are you folks going to create Debian packages yourself? unxsVZ is not
   going to have widespread use, testing and community development
   without ready to use packages by major Linux distributions i.e.
   RedHat and Debian (with all their offsprings like CentOS, Ubuntu,
   etc).
 - You folks should take a look at http://code.google.com/p/iredmail for
   all your email related efforts.
 - I read about support for MySQL. What about PostgreSQL? imho MySQL has
   become a very insecure technology to invest in, now that Oracle
   bought Sun; they already discontinued Virtual Iron, another open
   source competitor product to Oracles own virtualization platform.
   Here, many of our big customers (Audi, HSBC, Lufthansa, etc.) are
   moving towards PostgreSQL -- for their FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source
   Software) DBMSs that is.
 - How many of your own active developers are involved in developing
   unxsVZ? Judging from the commit messages I counted, must be four or
   so.
 - Let us finish this email with a fun-like rant ;-] If you guys want to
   move your trac site away from SVN (your whole source code hosting
   actually), to for example GIT [1], then here is how to do so [2].

,----[ This mail is CCed to three mailing lists ]
|   Note: I CCed to users at openvz.org, debian-user at lists.debian.org and
|   iredmail at googlegroups.com.
|   Maybe the response should go directly there so others are informed
|   too. I know there are others interested into those questions stated
|   above as well. We just had a talk in #openvz on freenode. If you do
|   not know how to join use there, try [3].
