Bonjour, Centos Varients?, an openvz one... Great!
I am playing with this idea right now. A small liveCD, ready to install a HOST with centos and openvz kernel (for now centos-6.5), "no bell and whistle" something very very basic/direct, useful for TI not afraid by 2 or 3 CLI commands. What I have in mind? in the next month is to have a Centos-7 without systemd (IMHO; for server; systemd will only bring big trouble). Using openvz kernel for 7 years now, very very good job, too bad it was/is not included directly in the Linux kernel (openvz deserve it) Someone willing to share idea on this?

For the upcoming CentOS 7 release they are going beyond just the normal release that is an as-perfect-as-possible clone of RHEL. They have this concept of variants... where Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are formed around making a special purpose build of CentOS... a spin or remix if you will. I don't know a lot about it yet but I think I have the basic concept correct.Looking at the numbers on http://stats.openvz.org/ I see:Top host distros-----------------CentOS 56,725Scientific 2,471RHEL 869Debian 576Fedora 111Ubuntu 82Gentoo 54openSUS 18ALT Linux 10Sabayon 6andTop 10 CT distros-------------------centos 245,468debian 106,350ubuntu 83,197OR 8,354gentoo 7,017pagoda 4,024scientific 3,604fedora 3,173seedunlimited 1,965The popularity of CentOS as both an OpenVZ host and an OpenVZ container surely has to do with the fact that the two stable branches of the OpenVZ kernel are derived from RHEL kernels.Wouldn't be nice if there were a CentOS derivative that had the OpenVZ kernel and utils pre-installed? I think so.While I have made CentOS remixes in the past just for my own personal use... I have not had any official engagement with the CentOS community. I was curious if there were some OpenVZ users out there who are already affiliated with the CentOS Project and who might want to get together in an effort to start a SIG and ultimately a CentOS 7 variant. Anyone? I guess if not, I could make a personal goal of building a CentOS and/or Scientific Linux 6-based remix that includes OpenVZ... as well as working on it after RHEL7 and clones are released... and after such time the OpenVZ Project has released a stable branch based on the RHEL7 kernel.I will acknowledge up front that some of the top CentOS devs / contributors have historically been fairly nasty to OpenVZ users on the #centos IRC channel. They generally did not want to help someone using a CentOS system running under an OpenVZ kernel... but then again... they reputation is for being obnoxious to many groups of people. :) I don't think we should let that stop us.Comments, feedback, questions?I'll also post this to my personal blog as well as the OpenVZ blog.TYL,--Scott Dowdle704 Church StreetBelgrade, MT 59714(406)388-0827 [home](406)994-3931 [work]_______________________________________________Users mailing listUsers@openvz.orghttps://lists.openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/usersIt will be nice to have some special attention in CentOS community, but what exactly will be the purpose of that group? What will be the difference from stock CentOS? Currently is kernel + tools. Is it worted to do special re-spin just for that? As for support I rarely visited IRC, but on the forum most of support requests were from CT users experiencing limitations imposed by Hosting provider. There is no way this could be fixed from CentOS devs - they simply do not have control over server. Neither the user.
