Bart PE also has other neat stuff like RDP but best of all, it is FREE
So do any of you use something like this?

We've used Symantec Ghost for years at the school district. What's wrong with Symantec?
Lately we've been looking into moving over to LANDesk, moreso for other features that it offers, although if all goes well we might eventually abandon Ghost.

Not large enuff to need that, 4 sites two countys and ~400pc.
Symantec wanted somthing like 60,000kr for that 0kr is a better deal and worth taking one or two calls about "how do I boot the cd", "I applied the wrong image, now what?" and so on.

PXE. We've got a server with a bunch of different images. We can plug any box into the network, hit F12 during boot, type in our username and password, and image it.
We're the corporate offices, but some of our other locations use Ghost. Unlike Ghost, PXE requires no CDs though, at all. Although I hear Ghost has other capabilities that make it superior in other ways, but I haven't gotten to play with it much myself.
Fortunately, I'm not implementation, so i arely deploy shit in larges numbers. When a drive has to be created or re-imaged, I use Ghost, however.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Looks to me like there's a pricetag of $38.94 for their imaging utility, which seems like approximately $38.94 greater than "free".
If all you're doing is cloning, The free utility does include imaging with fewer features (plenty of features for a simple clone/ghost operation)

When I was still in the military and working computers from 2000-2003 we used Symantec Ghost to re-image and roll out Windows XP. I don't know what their using now but given their conservative attitude and licensing issues their probably using the same thing.
