<br>
As you my have noticed CentOS 5.7 and Scientific Linux 5.7 both came out today... as did updated official OS Templates from the OpenVZ project. Thanks Kir!<br>
<br>
I found a short recipe (<a href="http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=13&hl=bold" target="_blank">http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=13&hl=bold</a>) for converting a CentOS host to a Scientific Linux host and decided to give it a try. It worked great. I created a CentOS 5.6 container, followed the recipe and when I was done I had a Scientific Linux 5.7 container. I had to add a couple of extra packages that aren't mentioned in the recipe and I was able to ignore those packages needed for a desktop system (mostly desktop logos and branding stuff).<br>
<br>
The final products are a i386 and an x86_64 contributed SL 5.7 OS Template. You can find them in the usual place (<a href="http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/" target="_blank">http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/</a>):<br>

I hope to update my contributed Fedora, CentOS and SL 6 OS Templates soon too.<br>
<br>
Enjoy,<br>
