on my Mandriva 2009.1, I have:

         Kernel: 2.6.29.2-vs2.3.0.36.12
         VS-API: 0x00020304
   util-vserver: 0.30.216-pre2848; Sep 14 2009, 18:50:28

#ls /usr/lib64/util-vserver/distributions
alpine/ centos4/ centos5/ debian/ defaults/
etch@ f10/ f11/ f7/ f8/ f9/ fc1/ fc2/ fc3/
fc4/ fc5/ fc6/ gentoo/ lenny@ redhat/ rh9/
sid@ squeeze@ suse91/ template/

so your point is?

best,
Herbert
