As with most distributions there will be now major version updates on any 
packages once it's released - but yes, right now it has a kernel with a 
fairly recent kernel patch (2.0.2.2-rc9) and recent utils (0.30.212)

Feisty doesn't have precomiled vserver enabled kernels, but the utils are 
uptodate:

Re: [Vserver] OCS Inventory

[Guillaume Pratte]

Herbert Poetzl a écrit :

you might want to check with the source (of OCS Agent)
what the application actually does with /dev/mem
  
As far as I know, OCS only uses /dev/mem to check if the script has root 
access. Commenting the lines in the script enable the agent to run in a 
vserver without the security implications of giving access to the guest 
to that device.


We use OCS in vservers at Revolution Linux and with that small patch it 
is working pretty well.
