Hi.

I downloaded clonezilla recently, but have not yet had a chance to try it. It claims to be similar to Norton Ghost Corporate Edition, and notes:
Quote:
At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!
See Clonezilla for details. Best wishes ... cheers, drl
