The <strong>RamNode Primer</strong> was initially written when RamNode’s only available Debian image for OpenVZ was quite sloppy out-of-the-box. The situation has improved somewhat since then, but the script still has a lot of practical value. It will do the following when run on a newly-provisioned RamNode OpenVZ host: purge lots of default cruft, add some new mirrors, update system packages, install some common and useful tools, harden the system, and setup a non-root admin user. After which, the system can be used as a light, secure and up-to-date platform for whatever purposes you intend.
