Discussion on: How often do you switch your distro?

Yeah, I really like to use VMs to experiment and see what else is out there.

Only thing that bothers me with VMs is if I get a pretty good setup working and have all the stuff in there I want and decide to use the distro from now on, I need to get all that out there and install it on the host somehow. Did not find a convenient way to do that for now :(

It's not ideal, but I would just create a disk image of the VM with dd and install it in the host machine.

Thought of the dd solution also, but as you already said, not the ideal one so I am still searching for a better one.
