We are using ImageCast at about .42 cents per student about $3300.00 for our
district. It also came with AppNstall and a utility to create a recover CD.

Looked into bpbatch  http://www.bpbatch.com but it doesn't support NTFS (XP)

I am having trouble imaging triple boot boxen RH7.3/XP/98, but I got side
tracked (as always) and need to get back to try a couple of other things
before I just figure out a work around.
