Thanks for the replies. So one question: If I want to continue using OpenVZ on Lucid, will I be able to ?

I'd like the choice, and the ability to migrate over in my own timeframe :)

Hi there,

well I would say "If it ain't broke...."

There are things in Hardy that are not available in the later, non LTS releases. If you use anything like that then do not upgrade.
