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.
