Yes, that is quite sweet. After spending some time enabling dual-boot
on our machines in a way that ghost can handle it, I installed a beta
of hardy and this solved (almost) all my problems in one fell swoop.
It even uses the windows bootloader so it doesn't touch the MBR.
The only remaining problem is that after ghosting, all the linux boxes
have exactly the same configuration - or more importantly the same
hostname. I couldn't find a 'nice' way to solve this, so I wrote a
script that essentially has a lookup table to check what the MAC
address of the machine it's running on is, and match that to a
hostname and set it. If anyone has any other solutions, I'd be
interested to hear them...
I've just tried virtualbox in seamless mode, and it's quite nice;
though the windows taskbar gets lumped over the top of the gnome panel
on the bottom... Think I might stick with keeping a virtual desktop
for virtual windows. Also, it's nice that cut-and-paste works across
virtual boundaries
