Has anyone had success with this with Linux installations? We have
3 CentOS machines (3.x and 4.x) that are prime candidates to be virtualized.
I had assumed that this was either (a) impossible or (b) expensive (vmware
sells some rather expensive tools to help). If it could be done at a
reasonable cost, we'd do it today.

What is the simplest way to import a physical disk into a vmware

does this easily.
Boot your VM with Knoppix and 'dd' the disk image over the network.
I have done this successfully to copy a Win98 partition from a laptop to
a vmware virtual machine. In that case, I actually ran Knoppix both on
the Win98 laptop and the unformatted vmware VM.
