[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[jehan Procaccia]

Hi,

actually I wonder if openvz-iso-9:

/https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/9.0/x86_64/iso//

/openvz-iso-9.0.0.iso    24-Feb-2022 04:41 2.9G/

which is supposed to be the base reference for virtuozzo 9 ,

is the same as

http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vz/releases/

/vz9.iso *20-Dec-2022 12:31*      2G/

please let us know which .iso we should start with to test vz9 (open 
version) /
/

why haven't they the same date (Feb 2022 vs Dec 2022) /
/

Thanks . /
/
