I've volunteered to help a new local game center Image their computers so they have the same patches, fixes, games, etc on each of their systems. This is how Kwadrix Imager Edition was born.
I wanted an easy way to run PartImage on several machines at once. I was going to use Knoppix to do this with, but we imaged the drives using clonezilla that had a newer version of partimage than what Knoppix came with. I figured there would be an easier way to do this, so after searching and not finding exactly what I was looking for, I stopped.
I took a version of Xubuntu and stripped out all of the desktop apps and added Partimage from Ubuntu 8.04 so I would have the latest version. I've added DHCP and PXEBooting to the CD and now it will boot clients from a LiveCD Server.
Of course this has delayed me on working on Kwadrix Gamers Edition, but I should be back to work on it Monday March 24th. Ubuntu 8.04 Beta comes out on the 20th so I will need to start working on upgrading KGE to the new version of Ubuntu that should come next month.
