Three "words"  - Ghost 4 Unix.  This isn't anything like Norton's.  This
is the most incredible OS/drive cloning tool I've ever used.  It does it
bit by bit.

http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/

g4u ("ghost for unix") is a boot-floppy/CD that allows one to easily
clone PC hard disks by using FTP. This is often done to deploy a common
setup on a number of PCs. The floppy/CD offers two functions: it uploads
the compressed image of a local hard disk to an FTP server, and then it
can retrieve that image via FTP, uncompress it, and write it back to
disk. Network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the hard disk is
processed as an image, any filesystem and operating system can be
deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well as partitions is
also supported.

Hope this helps,
Kevin
