have not had a chance to make a go of it myself yet. It supports PXE
booting too which can be really handy. I think it also does multicast
cloning, but, need to revisit. FOG looks cool. Please let us
know what you choose and why once you make a decision.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Howdy cialuggers,<BR><BR>I need to do some Norton Ghost type
stuff. Not willing to buy it.<BR><BR>I've googled up Ghost4Unix [1] and
FOG [2]. Haven't tried either. Anyone have any opinions on these
or other tools?<BR><BR>[1]: <A

href="http://www.fogproject.org/">http://www.fogproject.org/</A><BR><BR>This
is the general idea of what I am looking to do:<BR><BR>1. put in ghost-like
boot disc<BR>2. boot machine to be cloned/restored<BR>3. send [compressed]
clone image over network / apply new image pulled from network<BR>4. rinse and
repeat as desired<BR><BR>I need support for both MS and non-MS
filesystems.<BR><BR>- Nathan<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
