    Hello community friends! 

    I have a question: I was asked to build a Linux vm (which I have done many times) and typically I also install the OS handle everything start to finishe. However, in this case I was provided a VMDK of Linux vm that was created in VMWare workstation. Considering that I haven't done built a VM and imported a pre built VMDK I am wondering if there are any gotchas I should be prepared for? I assume that during the build process that I would choose the option to import an existing VMDK?
