Yep.  That takes the pain out of installing OpenVZ on CentOS... if the install media already has it installed.... not that installing OpenVZ on CentOS was that hard.

Just because users run into resource shortages on budget / underpowered containers from hosting providers... and can't be helped... doesn't mean a CentOS spin with OpenVZ pre-installed isn't useful.  It saves at least 10 minutes.

I'm on the #openvz channel during business hours MST... and I see a lot of questions unrelated to the one you mentioned.
