I've done this. But there are a couple of things to watch for: 


* All clones will use the same UUID for their swap and data partitions.
Easy to change, but requires you update grub after.

* All clones will have the same hostname, so use a hostname that wont
conflict with another machine, and change it later.

* All clones will have the same ssh host keys if you install openssh-server


And there may be other things that will need tweaking depending on what you
install. If there were some script or program that installed your programs
on a fresh install, that would be nice.
