Virtuozzo vs. HyperVM
So which is better. Neither site has much info. I see a lot of Virtuozzo here but I have to say that they are using a really old kernel that scares me. So what's the difference and is there any others?

Linux-2.6.18 is the most recent kernel and is available with a patch on their website openvz.org...easy enough.
I think OpenVZ is fine, haven't seen any issues with it yet...

As far as I understand is the OpenVZ kernel has a load of backports. Also Virtuozzo itself is "only "on 2.6.9

The Virtuozzo 2.6.9 kernel has 2.6.18 stuff backported and it will quite happily run on AMD Dual Core boxes as well as Dual Core Dual Xeons

I notice though that openvz has more modern kernels and I'm confused as to why Virtuozzo would backport to an old kernel rather than use a new kernel? Or - why not have this sort of virtualization part of the regular kernel?
However, the backporting is good to know. That's a step up from what I was thinking it was.

Virtuozzo 2.6.9 kernel is based on RedHat Enterprise 4 kernel... take that for what it's worth.
