Ghost for Unix

Posted by michael on from the sysadmin-toolkit dept.

junyoung writes "Hubert Feyrer released the latest version of g4u ("ghost for unix"), a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM image that allows one to easily clone PC harddisks by using FTP. Since it reads the disk bit by bit, it can create an image of any operating system and any file system. Besides, it's free (under BSD style license)."

    You're so right.

    If it weren't for that advertising clause I would never have had a reason not to run BSD software.

    But after finding the BSD advertising clause in several Windows 9x programs, most of which run so poorly it's almost as if I had written them, I was happy to have a reason why not to use BSD: Because BSD == Windows. (in a small way).
