        Hi,</div>
      <div>
        <br>
      </div>
      <div>
        EZ template was indeed created a year ago:) But initially it was
        targeted for testing purposes and was not subjected to deep
        testing at our side, so yes, one can consider it to be a "beta"
        quality. Though mostly it works fine, I don't remember any
        serious issues with template itself (however, one can still meet
        issues with some packages missing in VzLinux8 repos).</div>
      <div>
        <br>
      </div>
      <div>
        As for converting C8 ct to VzLinux8 one - there is no official
        way atm. In theory, if you have internet connection inside the
        CT, you can replace C8 repos with VzLinux one (e.g., just
        install vzlinux-release package) and run distrosync. And
        finally, change template in CT config. But this is just a guess,
        I have never tried this myself.<br>

                Thank you, that's great.  I just thought I'd let you
                know I'm still not seeing any PHP packages in the repos
                for VzLinux 8 as of this morning, just in case something
                still needs to be done for these to show up.  If it's
                just a case of needing to wait a bit longer then I'll
                try again tomorrow.<br>
