I'm installing a Gentoo in VMware right now that I'll use to test
updates etc. before I make them on the system's "real" Gentoo. It
sounds like the only VMware way to copy my host machine over to the
virtual machine is with some expensive software. What would you guys
recommend for this application?
I can set up a virtual network between the host and virtual machines,
so I was thinking I could just keep a fresh base Gentoo install backed
up, and copy crucial directories from the host OS to the guest OS
(which would be a copy of the base installation backup) when it's time
to test. Toby mentioned unison in another thread, and it sounds like
that might be a good tool for the job. Is there a better way?
