Ghost for Linux ?
I have long been a supporter of using Ghost for imaging disks. See a previous post on how to use Ghost 2003 with Windows Vista.
I have never, however, been able to find a replacement for Linux... until now.
I just came across this -- and pardon me if this is old news -- which seems very promising!

This is an open-source project based on NetBSD that allows you to boot from a CD, connect to an FTP site, and backup-to-image, or restore-from-image to the local drive, using the FTP site as the image storage location. This sure sounds like what Ghost should have been!
I intend to try it out very soon.
