if you use ubuntu the last version that support openvz is ubuntu 16.04 and its support is extended so you can use it for much longer . probably because of the openvz incompatibility of ubuntu 18.04 . you can install vnc on centos 7 . the package for vnc server and the desktop environment is probably available . just look on online tutorial if it doesnt work just search the rror

Right. But unfortunately Virmach is not maintaining Ubuntu 16.04 properly. As previous users have indicated, with Ubuntu usually updates are spontaneous and easy, but the Virmach Ubuntu 16.04 has a bug in it so that users can't do updates. The bug that causes an important SSH file to be deleted when the system is rebooted, has been documented and fixes suggested, which Virmach hasn't applied. Both Dynamo and I asked for an up to date version of Ubuntu, and with the last communication feedback was that it's on the cards but not right now. So I'd stay away from Ubuntu 16.04 for Virmach VPS 9. Not sure whether older versions would work for updating.
