 Jorge> Debian is the standard at GNU/Linux operating systems,

Let us just say it is used by many many folks ... :-) there are other
great Linux distributions out there.


 Jorge> how it's possible?

Debian just provides Linux as one of its kernel flavors. Amongst Linux
kernels in Debian there were kernels with OpenVZ support. Only if the
OpenVZ project provides a patch set can it be included in kernels
shipped by Debian.

Use some other kind of virtualization like for example KVM or LXC etc.
The overall point of the matter is, look whether or not it is in
mainline or not because then you can be pretty sure what is happening
right now will not repeat itself with another kind of virtualization
technology you pick. Please also note that the folks involved in OpenVZ
contributed a lot to LXC and we shall all thank them for doing so.
