So, If I understand well, there's never been an (official ?) centos-5 
template for openvz.
If I want one, I need to use the unofficial build method explained here: 
http://www.neonhost.com/openvz/
or use the official method : 
http://wiki.openvz.org/Centos_Upgrade_4.x_to_5.0
Am I correct ? I don't want to start in the wrong direction .

anyway, I'am new to openvz (I'am from linux-vservers ...) and I'am 
surprised that people out there still run centos-4 !
isn't it any simple way to get a centos-5 VPS ?

thanks .
