Bulloney. Linux distros support archival retrieval, and copying that
volume to another will yield a perfect, functional, bootable copy. No
re-installs required, no magic words. Linux installations are typically
image copies for most applets and applications that get installed. Not
much gets compiled during the installation runtime.


Yeah, to a Linux expert probably. But when I looked at an instruction on the web on how to do a mirror archive of a Windows machine using a Knoppix CD in order to dump that back onto a new hard drive that was at least two pages of intricate command line stuff.
