[OT] Partition Images

I was going to just randomly post and ask if anyone knew of any linux based 
equivalents to Symantec Ghost as I wanted to take an image of my laptop 
before messing with it (and doing ugly ugly ugly things like installing 
WinXP).

Anyway I thought better of it and went on a search and found:

"Partition Image for Linux" http://www.partimage.org/

Which supports most O/S AND supports network images and multiple clients 
simultaneously.  Doesn't support Multicast nor some of the more advanced 
features, but looks good enough to backup and restore a whole image.

I thought this might be kind of handy for people and it's free AND better 
yet uses a linux kernel to run from rather than evil DOS network drivers 
that die if you have a fast enough network (don't ask and don't make me go 
there it makes me feel sick thinking about that whole incident).

Anyway .. no questions.
