This VMWare thing is too cool and even better, FREE. Their company just went IPO last week. I think they are going to be a great company. Of course, I am hoping for them to continue offering this awesome free software. I just recently come back to it a few months ago. They didn't impress me a few years back. I've tried other things such as LTSP. LTSP is nice but I like the idea of running multiple OS's at once. I am messing around with cloning or duplicating the virtual machine in VMWare and here is what I found for duplicating db1 to db2.
Go to /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines and do:
cp -ax db1 db2
cd db2
vmware-vdiskmanager -n db1.vmdk db2.vmdk
mv db1 db2
sed -i 's/db1.vmdk/db2.vmdk/' db2
Restart the server console. If you don't see db2 on the menu, just click on File->Open->You know how to take it from here.
Enjoy...
