    To facilitate a one-day deployment of Linux workstations, I was wondering if I could prepare a LinuxMint VM, save it on FOG and then downgrade it to a physical workstation (several different ones).

    Will this work?

      @bristow-0 I do all my images using Proxmox VMs and I haven’t had any issues. In my case, I only deploy Sysprep-ed Windows so I’m not sure how it would work with Linux. I know that Sysprep strips away any hardware-specific data from the Windows image, so you would need to do the same for Linux.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @Bristow-0 Doing some google-ing, seems like there is a package named virt-sysprep that does something very similar to what Windows Sysprep does. I will play around with it on a VM later today and let you know how it goes.

          @Bristow-0 Usually Linux is a lot easier to deploy to different hardware because most distros provide a huge amount of kernel drivers detecting hardware on bootup. Though there are cases e.g. on RAID where a deployed Linux won’t start. I would just give is a try, Install your Linux of choice in a VM, capture and deploy to a few machines.
