Preferably fast, no need to install a base OS, easy to clone and restore. Of course, the key is fast. Clonezilla does a nice job with OS's other than *BSD (It uses dd (iirc)) and that takes forever (at least when cloning - have not tried a restore). Some specs I'm using to compare: A typical restore/save currently with other OS's using CloneZ takes about 12 minutes with a simple boot from CD. The restored/imaged drive is 400 meg sata. -- Best regards, Chris () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"
