This is the sort of software that will enable Linux to truly become viable in the workplace. SystemImager can really help out with automating Linux installs and software upgrades, things like that. While there will always be other issues that need to be addressed with hardware and definitely with more than one sound card, Linux continues to look more and more viable with each passing day.

Have you ever had the problem that you have set up the “perfect system”, and now you want to back up this system before you make changes to it so that you can restore the original state if you changes are not satisfying? Or are you a system administrator in a large company where you have to maintain hundreds of Linux machines that run exactly the same software, but are sick of installing each machine manually? Or did you develop a Linux-based hardware appliance, and now you want to sell it in big numbers on different hardware platforms (i.e., different hard disks, etc., not different processor architectures!) without having to maintain an image for each platform? Or do you want to distribute this solution to your resellers overseas, so that you do not have to ship expensive hardware and your resellers can sell their own hardware*? This is where SystemImager comes into play!
