[Users] OVZ 7 testing

[jjs - mainphrame]

Hi Scott,

I could be missing something, but it appears that the only available
ez-templates for for centos 5,6,7, debian 8, and ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

But debian 7 still seems to be popular, and some applications that run on
debian 7 haven't been ported to debian 8 yet. One big difference is that
debian 7 is based on sysv init, like centos 5, which debian 8 is based on
systemd, like centos 7.

I guess the template creation facility one of those things we'll have to
wait for.

Regards,

Joe
