I am wanting to setup OpenVZ on my home computer and currently have the following below specs. I have order 8GB of memory to go into it and thought it would be good to change over to FC 16 (64). What is the best way to setup openvz to work on this box. I plan to use 4GB for a local minecraft setup and 2GB worth of 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB VPS's. All for local testing.

Phenom 9500 Quad 2.2GHz
3GB Ram
FC 15 (32)

What kind of home connection do you have?
Also do you really need to virtualize the server at all?

By what I'm reading about your intentions, you can achieve everything above without VZ, removing a layer of virtualization will certainly improve performance.

I am not planning on hosting anything outside. I am strictly wanting to setup multiple vps so that I can learn to setup a mysql cluster, apache cluster, and learn how openvz/xen work. Just thought starting with openvz first. Plus this might lead into me setting up my own openvz host. Thanks I do have a 20Mbit connection though.

Found I should change to ubuntu b/c fc15/16 has issues with openvz.
