Others will probable give you info on those options, but if you are
talking about setting up the same type of systems. If the machines
are all the same hardware and diskdrives. Programs that can copy
entire hard drive at one time. G4U (Ghost for Unix), G4L (Ghost for
Linux), and Updcast. G4U and G4L copy partitions/drives using an
ftp server. Updcast copies directly from the harddisk to harddisk thru
the network using multicast, so it can copy to all other machines at
one time.

I've only just tired this one today, but was able to image 10
machines at once using it.
