Hi, newbie here (well, to the list, anyway);

Try g4u - http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/g4u/ - I use it for
cloning linux machines at work (Snort sensor boxes and the like, things I
need more than one copy of), but it can handle pretty much any OS. I'm
actually surprised no one's mentioned it.

Big hardware differences will throw it off (especially if you have
differences in video/sound drivers, CPU-specific kernel modules loaded,
etc.), but if you're using identical hardware, it works flawlessly, and if
the only difference is, say, hard drive size, it's fine (as long as you're
going from a smaller disk to a bigger one.)

Am I de-lurking now, does that mean I should introduce myself?

Lemme know, I'm kind of disconnected from things, as my .sig implies...

Hope this helps, though!

Andy
