Virtualization issues

Since I had a perfectly good Virtualbox image under Linux, I did not want to reinstall the whole thing when moving to VMWare. I found this article on how to migrate. Will give it a try.

Also there's a product called VMWare Converter, available for free. It supposedly capable of migrating both physical and other virtual machines as well to VMWare's format.

3rd Option:
VBoxManage clonehd |
{ -format VDI|VMDK|VHD|RAW| }
{ -remember }
format: Allow to choose a file format for the output file different from the file format of the input file.
remember: Keep the destination image registered after it was successfully written.

We'll see which way is best.
