I'll second the vote for Clonezilla :-)
I used it to image the 40 Aspire One's I had for college. If you're thinking of setting up a
clonezilla server make sure you use something like Ubuntu as the base system as it works a lot
better then RH clones like CentOS. If it's just one or two machines to do the "live" CD works well
off a USB stick.
