[MacTUG] Yikes Netrestore is dead!

[Steve Hellyer]

This is the new opensource software which has prompted Mike to  
discontinue netrestore. Can do everything netrestore can do and more.  
Mike commented to me that if he has to design Netrestore again it  
would do what DeployStudio does.
http://www.deploystudio.com/Home.html

Question... What does 10.6 have to do with this??.  Mac OS X already  
has features to image and has had them since 10.3.  In fact you will  
find netrestore and DeployStudio use these built in facilities we put  
in OS.

Suggest if you really want to know how this all works (with or without  
opensource tools) suggest this http://training.apple.com/itpro/leopard302
or http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=032150268X

What opensource tools are you using to image labs on Windows???   
Symantec Ghost isn't free... ;-) ;-) ;-)

Will put together a presentation/demo showing DeployStudio and imaging  
in general for a future MacTug meeting.
