I did some reading on the openvz forum / wiki. They seems to also update
and fix the debian branch from what I found. Anyway I don't have the
time to build this server from scratch anyway so it will have to stay
the way it is unless it's seriously broken.

For the next server I will research will further, and test out lxc to
see if it can replace openvz. I found some posts to this mailinglist
about lxc that seems to indicate that it works well, and the methods are
quite similar to openvz.

I'll keep you updated! Thanks for you input!
