I'll second the vote for Clonezilla :-) I used it to image the 40 Aspire One's I had for college. If you're thinking of setting up a clonezilla server make sure you use something like Ubuntu as the base system as it works a lot better then RH clones like CentOS. If it's just one or two machines to do the "live" CD works well off a USB stick.
