If you have a large number of identical hardware machines to image - a
multicast solution that allows defining build rules (ie static network
addresses, hostname, /etc/host, passwords, usernames, network shares and

might save time and make management easier. eg. FAI (most excellent)
Clonezilla SE (excellent), systemimager (I haven't used), and others.
For identical software and different hardware using a package list (dpkg
--get-selections> package.list) can be used.
For large deployments consider Puppet (very good, especially in mixed
environments).
Thanks for this info! I looked at Clonezilla, but I didn't configure
it yet.
I want to use multicast, because at the same time I need to reimage 12
computers. However, I looked at FAI, which looks very nice, and it
doesn't seem to support multicast.
Best,
