Am running the clone machines using Ubuntu 8.10 VMs running on Sun VirtualBox (my host machine has Windows XP OS). When I run "uname -a" to get the information, for "Clone1" it says : Linux clone1 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
and for "Clone2" it says : Linux clone2 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux FYI, my machine is a 64-bit machine (and so is the XP OS (64 bit) and the Ubuntu version installed). Thanks!
