      Hello everyone,

      I’m working on a project for an internship, and I have to set up a PXE server so that computers can boot on the image (Windows XP customized with softwares and updates) stocked on that server and launch Windows XP.
      I have to find the advantages and drawbacks of FOG compared to Clonezilla Server Edition, but there’s not a lot of data 😕
      Can someone help me out please? Thanks

        FWIW, they were pretty close based on my search criteria. FOG got the bump for the post-imaging support (FOG client, snap-ins, etc.) and the generally prettier/easier to use web interface (which is good for us for a variety of reasons).

              Yeah, the web interface is pretty much the only thing I had found

                And the mobile side is excellent as well, im not sure if Clone Zilla has a Boot menu like Fog but this too me is GREAT and very useful… im pretty sure there are much more things but i havent really used Clone Zilla so i wouldnt be able to compare

                          it even works on the CRaberry 8520 lol so trust me it works on all the others, if you IP is not open to the “internet” then you will obviously have to connect to your works wireless if there is and thats how you can access it

                                  For the system requirements, I was talking for the computers 🙂 I know Clonezilla needs for example 196Mb of ram.
