Wow, I just took a quick look at the list of features and I’m stunned. depending on how difficult it is to set this up. I maybe getting this going at work this week. We use altiris for desktop management. But we don’t use it for the servers, this could be a great way to image our servers.
I was just searching for a way to clone my laptop just in case disaster strikes. I found a cool tool called Clonezilla. It’s free, open source and very easy to use. You can burn a “live cd” or even copy the tool to a USB memory stick and just boot from it.
It supports a whole bunch of file systems: ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, and FAT, NTFS of MS Windows! Check it out.
Cool tool

Iomega Active Disk: take your software to go
by jayb
Forget about the IOMEGA stuff, checkout the link to software design to run off a USB drive.
Those of us who work on multiple computers frequently will appreciate the idea behind Iomega’s Active Disk
technology, which allows you to run applications directly from portable media devices without having to install them on
the host machine. A number of apps have been written or modified to launch from Active Disk compatible devices, which
include ye olde Zip drives, Iomega Rev drives (not terribly convenient to be carting around your Rev drive while you’re
at it, though, is it), external Iomega FireWire and USB drives, and Iomega Mini flash drives. All the software as well
as files you create live on the portable device before and after a work session. All well and good, but seeing as how
we long ago jettisoned our Zip disks, no one we know has a Rev drive, and most external hard drives will run software
out of the box already, this leaves the USB thumb drive to be of any interest with this software. And even then, we’d
really rather just use the growing number of applications
designed to work on any USB drive instead
of being forced into adopting yet another proprietary standard.
