I have used FOG for a couple years now and am very satisfied. It is very capable of handling whatever you need. It may be overkill for use at home but is great for a business. You can unicast, multicast, and pull images over then network – 5GB image in just minutes. The windows agent allows you to automatically rename the PC, join the domain, install applications, and printers. It is all managed via a web interface and you can boot PXE to a menue. It’s possible to unbox a PC and image it without ever touching another PC or server at all, great for when you are out in the field. I highly recommend the product!

Hi,

Does anyone have some time trials as to the speed of Norton Ghost vs say Fog and Clonezilla…?

Thanks
