You can create one by yourself.
am sure he knows that... but he asked a specific question..
Tell us exactly what you want and we'll point you in the right direction.
I would like a big list of pre-made OVZ vps templates that I can play with. Different desktop environments and server set ups.
I'm pretty sure SolusVM has these but you'd need a license to access them.
stacklet?
edit: nvrm, no ovz
I had use the OpenVZ Wiki template.
SolusVM have a load you can use, and the OpenVZ wiki also has a load too.
just take some time to create your own - updated good templates:
for example
debian - https://openvz.org/Debian_template_creation
or just create an vps from standard template http://openvz.org/Download/template/precreated
Create vps from original template, then:
vzctl enter ID
install desktop
for example in centos5:
yum update
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
yum install yum-utils
yumdownloader nautilus-sendto
rpm -Uvh --nodeps nautilus-sendto-1.0.1-6.el5.centos.i386.rpm
set first password
vncpasswd
first VNC startup
vncserver :1
kill VNC
vncserver -kill :1
install an editor
yum install nano
edit x startup file
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
x startup should look like this http://pastebin.com/M2U2hW6B
install firefox or any other required packages
yum install firefox
start VNC service
vncserver :1
edit rc.local to start VNC at boot
su root -c "cd ~root && vncserver :1"
make an script on VPS to set vncpasswd same as VPS password (and add it to rc.local) or use vzctl exec at VPS creation
set up your time zone, if its not a centos your local sources, install required packages and so on
exit form VPS
delete IP
vzctl set ID --ipdel all --save
remove hostname
rm -f /var/lib/vz/private/ID/etc/hostname
stop it
vzctl stop ID
go to directory
cd /var/lib/vz/private/ID
pack it
tar --numeric-owner -zcf /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-5-i686-desktop-precreatedBYme.tar.gz .
and use it for your clients
