Agreed. I only discovered and burned it the other day, rescued what I could from a dying drive by bunging it over the network to a Linux box.
Couple of hours later, new drive installed, O/S installed, SMB share on Linux box gives me my documents back.
Only thing I'd mention about sysresccd is that partimage on it is something like 6.3 beta, whereas on my normal Linux box it's 6.2. The two different versions simply won't talk to each other. If you're in a similar situation in future, this is what you do:
On your server/host machine, run "ldd partimage" to get a list of dynamic libraries required.
Copy your partimage and all the required dynamic libraries into a dedicated directory, and share it out read-only via NFS or SMB on your server/host machine.
Boot from sysresccd on the target machine, smb/nfs-mount the exported directory and run the partimage from your other server/host machine.
???
PROFIT!!!!
(sorry).
This way, the server and client versions are running the same partimage binary and you shouldn't have any problems.

Is ignorance worse than arrogance?
I don't know and I care!
Not the first time it's happened, either
Who said it was out-of-the box?
How do you define no glitches?
:)No glitches? Erm, everything appeared to work without problems. How would you define it?
I really can't remember any glitches using it for 2+ years against Solaris 2.6 boxes.
Whacked: is it any good or is it whack?
Fuck, that's a fast-moving planet!
and have 12 months' figures to show support costs have tumbled, and viruses/worms were not a problem.
This is so, like, last story, it's not true.
Article does say they reckon they've been there "at least 10 years" though.
Did you mention that he was a fucking pussy? I may have missed that bit.

You're paid very little probably because your spelling rivals that of a chimp.
August is a long way off yet, so there's plenty of time.

I think a common perception of the US (in the UK, at least) is that there is a LOT of gun deaths in the states.
And while we're at it, it's "al-you-min-ee-um", not "al-oo-min-um".
I feel better now.
Cheap, simple to build, and it never, ever, gives me problems.
Only if you're male.
Sorry, that last sentence is a bit muddled. I meant to say the server and client are running compatible versions of partimaged/partimage.

Was it because of your 3.5" floppy?
WANK IT HARD!
UK: Bum bag
I have no idea what "bum bag" could infer in the US...
"fanny" is a vulgar expression in the UK (lady's genitals).
When come back, bring pie.
