[PLUG] Clonezilla

[Dave Poirier]

I assume that you are using Ghost for distributing Windows... (We all 
know what happens when you assume) disregard the rest of this message if 
you are not.

No experience with Clonezilla, but another option may be Unattended.
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/

The server is fairly straight forward to set up, you can customize 
driver templates, integrate apps and hot fixes. Unlike Ghost, it is 
truly a unique install to each machine, which does have some 
advantages.  Once you have it configured like you want, you can drop in 
a CD and come back in thirty minutes and have a fully configured 
machine. Unfortunately for us, this has not replaced Ghost completely, 
we use it in addition to (we still use Ghost for large labs). Unattended 
has been good for the areas that do not have such a large install base. 
For some it may be able to replace it completely.
Good luck,
Dave Poirier
