I was wondering if anyone can suggest a *really* quick way to clone
disks?  (either via network or disk-to-disk is alright)
I have currently built a base (redhat) linux system and would like to
clone this install to other computers, all with similar hardware.  I
looked into rsync but was wondering if there would be a faster way?
Would Norton Ghost be faster?

Additionally, any suggestions on how to copy over 350GB of data
quickly would be very much appreciated! This would definately be a
disk-to-disk transfer.  it's my understanding that cp wouldn't be the
best way to do this?  Could anyone suggest another tool?

Thank you very much.

try 'man dd'
btw, it has been around much longer than Norton Ghost :)

man parted
search for cp

-- rsync would be a good way to do this as any subsequent changes
would be diffs only and it can be done securely over network if
necessary - also it can compress data on fly.

an additional advantage would be only having to learn one lot of
syntax.
