Thanks to Jeremy (I really mean it, "Thank You!"), I got started playing around with Proxmox w/KVM and OVZ. I like KVM better, but one of my servers (an older one) does not support it. I can't afford to switch out my newer server (which does support KVM) at this time due to the current set of apps running on it, so I am trying to lean a bit more about the OVZ format and use the older machine for that. The vm's I install from a template work just fine, but I have had difficulty in migrating existing machines or even creating new ones from scratch (especially Windows based VMs). I come from a Windows background (with about 16 years Windows programming experience) and have only seriously been using Linux OS's for less than a year. The thoughest part is just knowing the commands to execute from the commandline. I got a Linux ref book to help with that now. Anyway....
The TKL applicances I'd like to run are the Revison control, MySQL, and WediaWiki (and eventually many many more; I'm becoming a vm junkie ). I got a template for mediawiki already, but I have to port my existing wiki to it.
Adrian, I will read up on that post you suggested.
Thanks to Jeremy
