I've used Norton ghost to image some CentOS box's I've got this year and it works fine. Did try it 
last year with a Fedora Core 3 box but ghost couldn't handle it, when I googled for it there was 
something about not having a spare extend partition available on the drive (or something sorry bit 
unclear on this was last year *grin*) I ended up using g4u (http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/) and that was 
OK with Fedora Core 3, all I had to do was setup a ftp server on the same machine as I had ghost 
(Windows 2000 Server) and away it went.
