Re: [TCLUG:14414] Ghost for Linux

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

it's not a question of if they can.. the should be requiered to know how
to use standard tools that have been used for system duplicating since
unix was designed.  the point of linux is not to create lazy admins.  it's
there to teach good admins.  and a proerly setup boot utils disk could be
made with standard tools to allow for system copying.  an experienced
admin can create such a mini distro with a little bit of dialog scripting
to allow grunts to dupe systems... insert floppy, insert cd, folow some
instructions, and bam.. new linux box, windows box, whatever.

Thank You,
