Michael,
The answer of "cloning" seems vastly superior to the "you should use
virtualization". I agree "full stack" is important. We currently use
some form of ghost for Windows systems (as we're still trying to get
cobbler up and running for WinXP installs via ris-linux). I'd encourage
the use of some sort of intelligent "ghost" package, and not something
very low-level (dd anyone?), so reinventing the advanced functionality
is not necessary. Thanks.
-Jared
