VMware Composer Full clones and Replicas

I believe VMware composer can deploy/provision desktops to end users using:
- view connection manager
users connect to an assigned VM or to a pool of VMs
- view composer : when we need to save stotage space, we use linked clones.
There is Full clone and replica , but I ma not sure in which should we implement this feature and how to implement it.. Any help ?

Thanks

I have done some reading about clones:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_clone_overview.html

I have not seen how to deploy full cloned machines to end users...is it just like normal VMs that we created in a pool and make entitlement for end users who should connect to them...?
