I think you are talking to the wrong person in your reply. I was talking |
| 32 |
to the fellow who used the live install cd |
| 33 |
and was comparing it to Mandrake/Mandriva, so your answer is off point. |

Also if you use Acronis and a image server you can have an image from a |
| 35 |
pre-built machine. |

I was asking more the sys admins in the group about how they deloyed |
| 37 |
onto new machines. |
