[Opensource] Free OpenSource Ghost

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Here is an interesting cross post from a QLD list. It is an open source
version of Ghost that can run on a network from a Linux server.

Whilst I am still very happy with Novell Zenworks that we currently use for
imaging and stuff, this sounds like a great way to introduce and use a
network management tool to my students using the Linux computers we rebuilt
from scratch.

 Here's something interesting I found.

Free Open-Source Ghost is an open-source alternative to Ghost for imagingPCs.

I haven't had time to play with it yet, but it might be useful, & is
certainly cheaper than Symantec's product. (which cost me $25 per seat)
