And disadvantages installing Centos as KVM not OpenVz?

[ozgurerdogan]

Would it be ok if I install centos as KVM guest? Do I have any performance issue or any disadvantages?

Thanks

Yes.

Do you think then I should consider using Kernel 2.6.35 as long as I wont use openvz?

Do you think then I should consider using Kernel 2.6.35

I think it's worth-while, for access to the KSM feature.
Relatively few issues are being reported with it AFAIK, and what does get reported seems to receive appropriate attention from the devs and is resolved.

Of course there's always the option to boot into another branch if need be- they don't take up much space.

I think I must also consider if proxmox team, will release future versions of 2.6.35 and also improve it which I have no idea about.

Yes, we will maintain that kernel.

I will go with 2.6.35 then.

One thing I cant be sure is. For example, I see version 1.8 is only for kernel 2.6.32 (as per update to latest version in wiki, I need to run "aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32")? As long as I am stick with 2.6.35, do not I get updated version of proxmox 1.8? Or to get 1.8 of version, I need to run aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.35 ?

Thank you in advance.

Proxmox VE 1.8 works with 2.6.18, 2.6.32 and 2.6.35.

So I need to run aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.35 instead of aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32 which wiki says so to upgrade to 1.8?

yes, see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_Kernel
