Howdy cialuggers,

I need to do some Norton Ghost type stuff.  Not willing to buy it.

I've googled up Ghost4Unix [1] and FOG [2].  Haven't tried either.  Anyone
have any opinions on these or other tools?

[2]: http://www.fogproject.org/

This is the general idea of what I am looking to do:

1. put in ghost-like boot disc
2. boot machine to be cloned/restored
3. send [compressed] clone image over network / apply new image pulled from
network
4. rinse and repeat as desired

I need support for both MS and non-MS filesystems.
