By this I mean having an application that helps us manage the Server/Desktop client through a centralized server and that will allow us to create images of the installed OS (Ubuntu) in the client machine, and restore it when needed, doing all this from the Centralized Server.

This idea emerged from the need of having such tool on Computer Labs (In Schools or Universities), where they regularly need to reinstall programs or an OS on their machines if something goes wrong with one of it. So, by having such application, we would be able to restore images remotly from the centralized server to the client machine, and this will aid the administration of a computer lab.

Similar to what RIS (Remote Installation Services) is, but just for Ubuntu.

More tools are needed to help deploy this in corporate environments.

Exactly like RIS but for Ubuntu, a big +1 on this from me.

I've done a PXE installer setup with multiple images and whatnot by hand and it would be awesome if we could get something like this ootb.

(Slightly different from having images of machines but could probably overlap in functionality enough to consider one tool for everything)]]> Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:44:16 +0000
I think it's worth to take a look at, especially since it has support for the three major OSes(with an exception for the server, which doesn't run on Windows).]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:55:49 +0000
