We use SystemImager (systemimager.org) to image several hundred Linux
boxes here at work. It's a little quirky, but works great for us. It
allows you to image a machine from scratch by booting from a floppy,
cdrom, or PXE, and allows you to do incremental updates. It's pretty
much a hack of rsync and parted, so you can imagine how it works.

If you are going to image a medium to large setup, look into this;
otherwise it's more work than it's worth.
