As I got a few servers to do I think I'll set one up as a test and see how I get on. As I said
before these servers are going to be pretty standard stuff so hopefully there wont be a too many
problems (oh I know that this line is going to come back to bite me :-) )
When I've got one working I'm going to take a look at Mondo Rescue
(
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mondorescue/?branch_id=6608&release_id=252007) and use this to clone
the machines as well as having a backup / rescue solution.
