- seems to me, that the moment the specialist program gets running on VMware . . . it becomes wonderfully 'portable'
- cloning is a smooth operation : all that is needed is to copy ones vmware directory [ say, /opt/vmware ] to another Drive or Computer
- this can be done quickly without needing to enter Serial Numbers, Passwords & such-like
. . . it is also handy to be able to take quick 'snapshots' of whole VMware machine.
