[MacTUG] Netrestore is dead, long live, uhh, Netrestore?

[Steve Hellyer]

For you guys. I will comment. :-)

Just the same name. Similar purpose. Quite a different UI. Services  
Mac OS X very well but no Windows or Linux deployment.

All these solutions rely on Mac OS X Server built netboot services so  
they all have some base similar functionality.  For sure old Freeware  
Netrestore is gone. Hasn't worked since 10.5.6.  I think many will  
like new server Netrestore feature but it's really quite different  
than it previous name sake.
Still others will enjoy DeployStudio expanded flexibility to handle  
Multi OS deployment as well as some other bell and whistle used in lab  
deployment.

Keep in mind there are even more choices as JAMF has Casper suite  
which also does imaging plus many other items.  Getting spoiled for  
choice these days.
