Transfering VMs (Virtual Box)

[dangerstat]

Hi,

A quick question for you guys. I have some VMs (used with VirtualBox) on a Windows 7 machine and I was wondering if I can copy them over to a Linux machine and whether they'd work.

Any advice appriciated,

Thanks

Yes

and whether they'd work.

and Yes

I simply register the VDI and re-set the VM up under the new OS/environment with the same settings (safer/easier I find than copying the existing VM settings file over, as it avoids absolute path fubars)
