- Virtualised Development Environments on a Mac - Nefarious Designs nefariousdesigns.co.uk
The best solution would be to build linked clones. A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent virtual machine in an ongoing manner. This conserves disk space, and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation. It also means we’ll be able to run the two VMs simultaneously.
