Deploying Ubuntu Linux Server 8.04 Template

Hello,

I would like to know how to deploying ubuntu linux server 8.04 from an existing server (Template).

Because I notice that when you have to deploying a template or from a clone, ESX change some parameters (like mac adress) that disable the originial ethernet guest OS.

This thing doesn't come with a with Windows guest OS.

And I would like to know, if you have a guide or what the process to easely deploying a functionnal system.

Thanks in advance.

I think the easiest way to deploy a VM is to export it with the VMware Infrastructure Client (in the menu 'Virtual Appliance' -> export).

This export can easily be imported again.

The network settings (especially the MAC address) may change on import - I'm not sure...
