Install CentOS 5
My CentOS 5 installation is a DVD install with only the "Desktop - GNOME" group selected.
On restart, a number of questions (timezone/security level/etc) are asked. At this stage set the "SELinux" option to disabled. If you skip this step, then simply modify the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and disable selinux from there. You will need to reboot before this takes effect, but its okay to wait until you have installed the kernel before doing this (just to save some time :)
Install the vserver kernel
I have found using Daniel's fedora kernel rpm's work great with CentOS 5, so I downloaded the relevent kernel RPMS files
wget -c http://rpm.hozac.com/dhozac/fedora/6/vserver/i386/kernel-2.6.20-1.2936.fc6.vs18.104.22.168.i686.rpm
Then install the kernel...
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.20-1.2936.fc6.vs220.127.116.11.i686.rpm
Double check the grub file to make sure its the bootable kernel (/boot/grub/grub.conf). If all is okay we are ready to restart the server.
At this stage (before the reboot) I also modify the hosts sshd config file, so it doesn't listen to every interface on the server. This blocks any guests attempt to run sshd.
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and add the line "ListenAddress 192.168.0.1"
Install util-vserver (from source via RPM)
At this stage I had to add some packages to my installation
sudo yum install rpm-build gcc-c++ e2fsprogs-devel beecrypt-devel doxygen tetex-latex wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/5/i386/dietlibc-0.30-1.fc5.i386.rpm wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/5/i386/dietlibc-lib-0.30-1.fc5.i386.rpm sudo yum localinstall dietlibc-0.30-1.fc5.i386.rpm dietlibc-lib-0.30-1.fc5.i386.rpm
Now we are ready to make the util-vserver rpm's
wget -c http://ftp.linux-vserver.org/pub/utils/util-vserver/util-vserver-0.30.213.tar.bz2 rpmbuild -tb util-vserver-0.30.213.tar.bz2
And finally, install the new rpms
sudo yum localinstall /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/util-vserver*
Post installation steps
Make certain /proc entries visable (required every boot, so install the vprocunhide start script on boot)
sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add vprocunhide sudo /etc/init.d/vprocunhide start
Install a guest
As root, try the following to test your installation (this example installs a fedora core 6 guest)
sudo vserver testing01 build -m yum --context 4040 --hostname=test01.test.loc \ --interface eth0=eth0:192.168.101.101/255.255.0.0 -- -d centos5
yum will install the minimal packages now. After the yum process completes i got this error:
/usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/fc6/initpost: line 105: 3587 Killed $_VSERVER "$vserver" exec bash -c ': >/tmp/startwait' >&/dev/null
Some part of the script is broken it seems, but it won't affect the install. At this point you must be able to start and enter your vserver install. To start it the vserver do,
sudo vserver testing01 start
And to enter the vserver, do
sudo vserver testing01 enter
Now you must be inside the centos5 install, you can start installing the packages you need now. In case yum is not installed, you can do it via the following in the host system
sudo vyum testing01 -- install yum
If all goes well you now have a working setup :)

Question: "What is an advent calendar? How does an advent calendar relate to Christmas?"
The word 'Advent' has a Latin origin meaning 'the coming,' or more accurately, 'coming toward.' For Christian believers, Christmas is one of the greatest events in the yearly cycle, being the celebration of the greatest gift ever given by God to mankind. That gift was Jesus, the Son of God Himself, born into this world in human form and coming to live among us to show us the true nature of God, experience human joy and sorrow along with us, and finally, going of His own will to die a horrible, agonizing death. In this way the price was paid for all human sin that had cut us off from our Holy God and Heavenly Father, resulting in our complete and total reconciliation with Him.
Centuries ago, the importance of this event caused many Christians to feel that it was inadequate merely to mark off only one day on the yearly calendar for celebrating this incredible gift from God. Believers had (and still do have) such a sense of awe and overwhelming gratitude and wonder at what happened that first Christmas that they felt the need for a period of preparation immediately beforehand. They could then not only take time themselves to meditate on it, but also teach their children the tremendous significance of Christmas.
At first, the days preceding Christmas were marked off from December 1 with chalk on believers' doors. Then in Germany in the late 19th century the mother of a child named Gerhard Lang made her son an Advent Calendar comprised of 24 tiny sweets stuck onto cardboard. Lang never forgot the excitement he felt when he was given his Advent calendar at the beginning of each December, and how it reminded him every day that the greatest celebration of the whole year was approaching ever nearer. As an adult he went into partnership with his friend Reichhold and opened a printing office. In 1908, they produced what is thought to be the first-ever printed Advent Calendar with a small colored picture for each day in Advent. Later on, at the beginning of the 20th century, they hit on the idea of making the pictures into little shuttered windows for the children to open day by day in order to heighten their sense of expectation.
The idea of the Advent Calendar caught on with other printing firms as the demand swiftly increased, and many versions were produced, some of which would have printed on them Bible verses appropriate to the Advent period. By now the Advent Calendar had gained international popularity, and children all over the world were clamoring for them as December approached. Unfortunately, the custom came to an end with the beginning of the First World War when cardboard was strictly rationed and only allowed to be used for purposes necessary to the war effort. However, in 1946, when rationing began to ease following the end of the Second World War, a printer named Richard Sellmer once again introduced the colorful little Advent Calendar, and again it was an immediate success.
Sadly, with the wane of Christianity in Western nations, the Advent Calendar, although still enormously popular with all children, has lost its true meaning. Many, many children and their parents have no idea of the history of the little calendar or its true purpose, which is to prepare us for the celebration of the advent of the Christ-child. Even if they do know, most would not care. Also, the makers of today's Advent calendars are anxious only to sell their product, and the majority of these neither know nor care about the meaning and purpose of Advent. Their calendars depict Santa Claus and his reindeer, snowmen, holly, mistletoe, and all the secular trappings of Christmas behind the little windows, often along with a piece of chocolate. Fortunately, however, Christian printers are still with us to manufacture calendars for children from Christian families that unfold the story of the nativity with each window that is opened. We, as Christian believers, pray that one day the whole world will be aware of the incredible wonder of the true meaning of Advent and Christmas.

According to WWE sources, Laurinaitis had mentioned how exhausted he was with his workload, which consisted of office duties in Stamford, Connecticut and traveling to numerous events as a performer. The writing, however, was on the wall since he was quietly removed from the WWE Corporate website's index of Executive Officers in April. Paul "Triple H" Levesque, Executive Vice President of Talent and Live Events, was reportedly never a "Big Johnny" booster and it was believed to be a matter of time before Jane Geddes, Vice President of Talent Relations, and Canyon Ceman, Senior Director of Talent Development, learned the WWE machine. With each element they learned, they took away duties that belonged to Laurinaitis. Creative writer Michael Hayes had already replaced John Laurinaitis asmatchmaker of live events and it said that he was taken out of the loop concerning developmental program matters.
The internal belief is that Laurinaitis will wind up back on television as a performer since most people are surprised that WWE has maintained his character's firing. He is scheduled to appear at live events through at least September.
Laurinaitis was hired as a producer after WWE's acquisition of certain assets of World Championship Wrestling in March 2001. When Jim Ross desired to move from Stamford, Connecticut to Norman, Oklahoma, he began grooming Laurinaitis to overtake his position as Vice President of Talent Relations.WWE chief Vince McMahon, however, made the switch without informing Ross first in 2004. Laurinatis was at one point one of the most powerful employees in the organization, and in 2009, was promoted to Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. However, when Stephanie McMahon took over Talent Relations and handed over the reins to Levesque, his power weakened and he was ultimately demoted.
The only person remaining in the talent relations department since last year, aside from employees workingin travel, is Mark Carrano. Though WWE stated in their article that Laurinaitis was "burned out" from the position, multiple sources have stated that recent changes to the corporate infrastructure represent Levesque assuming control of certain sectors of the organization and re-shaping them to his liking. Despite his demotion, Laurinaitis chose to maintain employment because he bought an expensive Connecticuthome and his family doesn't want to move away from the area.
This is not a work by any means and is just another example of Laurinaitis scaling back on his WWEduties as of late. It should also be noted that Pete Leone has been given even more responsibility in the talent relations department of WWE.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more. Stay tuned to the website.

An African princess may not have come to America to find a man to marry, but she did just that, after falling for an American accountant. The two will wed this Saturday, according to reports.
Ugandan Princess Ruth Komuntale, 23, graduated from American University in Washington D.C. last year. Her fiance, 30-year-old Christopher Thomas, works at the Discovery Channel in nearby Silver Spring, Md. He proposed at a local Ruth's Chris Steak House, according to an article on American University's alumni news site.
In Uganda, the princess's life is dissected in tabloids and her face often graces magazine covers. In D.C., she kept her royal status quiet and cautiously began getting to know her American beau, according to the American University article.
It wasn't until their engagement that the Missouri native truly became aware of the princess's role in Uganda's Toro kingdom.
"You are not just marrying Ruth; you are marrying the whole kingdom," Thomas was warned, according to the alumni report.
Wedding festivities have begun. Thomas was formally introduced and accepted by the royal family on Thursday, according to Getty Images. Some Ugandans would prefer their princess marry a Ugandan man, according to Uganda's daily New Vision, but other women see the marriage as a fairy tale that gives hope.
Komuntale now works in D.C. at City Gate, a nonprofit helping underprivileged children, but the princess inspires to start a charity for needy women and children in Uganda, according to American University.
The couple plans to split their time between Uganda and the U.S.

Randall Grahm is one of the true characters of the American wine scene. A self-styled terroirist, intuitive branding genius and all around eccentric, Grahm has taken his Bonny Doon Vineyard on quite a ride over nearly the past 30 years. After setting out in 1983 to make great Pinot Noir in California, Grahm was drawn to Rhône varieties — long before it was cool — and blazed an innovative trail. Years past and the winery continued to grow particularly at the entry level with the ubiquitous Big House brand. But being a terroir driven vintner who presides over blending sessions in industrial wineries can't be a lot of fun. So in 2006 Grahm sold the Big House brand to The Wine Group and spun off Pacific Rim into it's own business with outside partners.
By his own admission Grahm has downsized his once considerable enterprise by a factor of ten and the business model of a modest winery today is a lot different than when he got started. Today the consumer has more tools to help them choose a wine in the store using smartphones and apps like Hello Vino. Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook can connect friends from Barstow to Barcelona in near real time for instant recommendations. And wine distributors, who used to be the winery's "feet on the street", have become nothing more than extensions of the sales force for large volume brands like Gallo, Kendall-Jackson and, somewhat ironically in this context, The Wine Group.
It appears Mr. Grahm is well aware of the current realities in the wine market and his own transformation from selling mostly through distribution to mostly direct to consumer after reading a very revealing post on his blog earlier this week. I have the opportunity in my day job to have frank conversations about the wine business but none of these surface here as they are off the record. Seeing similar issues presented in a long-form post on a winery blog is most refreshing and frankly breathtaking. I'm sure there is a bit of added drama at play here and the Dooniverse is not really on the edge of ruin but if it is that would be most distressing. The wine world with Randall Grahm and Bonny Doon in it is much better than the reverse.
So in the spirit of a friend lending a helping hand I offer the following unsolicited ideas for Mr. Grahm and his team to ponder:
Get social – Dude, you have over 350,000 Twitter followers! No other vintner is even close. Use it occasionally to sell your wine. I'd probably also figure out how to convert some of those followers to Facebook Page likes, too (only 5,000 there now). I know you have a social media strategy and do better than most in the wine business but a bit more wood behind this arrow would pay off handsomely at the very least in positive word of mouth.
Embrace Video – Unlike a lot of winery owners you have a rich story to tell with passion and nuance. Use video to get more of your story onto the social web to get some of those Milleninals exposed to your brand. You are sort of dabbling at this now; commit to a regular schedule.
Open A Bay Area Tasting Room – Hate to say it but Santa Cruz is kind of out of the way for many to get exposed to Bonny Doon wines. I'd take my hospitality closer to the customer and look for a space in San Francisco (SoMa, Dogpatch, Haight, etc.).
Ditch That Flash Website – I mean it's 2012 and a lot of folks have iPads. All of that cute animation can be done in HTML 5.
Spruce Up The Wines – This is the least important on the list but one that deserves some consideration. I have to admit aside from the occasional bottle of Le Cigare Volant I have not tasted through your lineup in a while but a peek at CellarTracker reveals some improvement can be made. These days a $25 wine better taste like a $35 or $40 wine or people will buy alternatives that over-perform their price point.
Hope this helps, Sir. Let us know how it goes.

While Unveiled unpacks the influence of the colour white on wedding fashion, another exhibition has just recently opened in Wellington that explores fashion's long term obsession with black.
Black in Fashion is a 'pop-up' exhibition curated by former fashion designer Doris de Pont. Doris and her creative team have populated a raw and empty shop space to 60 outfits full of attitude. The pop-up exhibition can be found at 1 Brandon Street, and open daily from noon to 6 pm until the 18th March. Entry is by koha.
The exhibition is accompanied by a newly published book Black: History of Black in Fashion, Society and Culture in New Zealand, which explores New Zealand's obsession with wearing black through a series of essays ocovering fashion, sport, music, film, cultural politics and Maoridom.
Te Papa staff have contributed two essays to the book. History Curator Stephanie Gibson explores The Black Singlet as a Cultural Icon, and I have focused on a group of contemporary designers who view black is central to their design practice.
In conjunction with the exhibition and book, a number of public programmes are being held in Wellington, and in Dunedin. The dates are below.
