HI,
I only have experience with VMWare on Win-hosts.
what will be ur host and what ur client?
Think, if ur clients have the same hardware, then u can simple copy the vm-images to ur machines.

hi,

my host operating system would be win2k and guest would be linux. what i wanted to know is that if there is anyway of doing the virtual machine setup on one system and copying the image to all others.
thanks -regards,
karthik
