Hi all,
I'm looking for a cloning solution for our Windows/Linux/*nix computer park and ran into Clonezilla. Apparantely the DRBL and other documentation mentions CentOS as a suitable base for it.
Does anybody on this list use this solution and can say something about it in the running-Clonezilla-with-CentOS-context, be it recommendations, gotchas', warnings or whatever?
I'm using it installed via yum on Centos and it works great. I use a 2-NIC server where machines are normally plugged into the private side in a lab to be imaged via PXE booting but it also works to use a clonezilla-live CD boot anywhere on the network to save or restore.

Thanks Les and Thomas. I appreciate the feedback. I'll look into installing this solution.
I'm currently using a g4u-based routine with an ftp-server running of off a Win2k3-machine+dhcp. It works, but is slightly awkward to use. Clonezilla seems a bit more worked-on compared and more of a complete solution.
Thanks.
