@Bob-Henderson Thanks for the tip, I am sorry to have nothing to offer but we are a startup wich means that every single penny comes out of our pocket and things are going bad down here in Brazil so… I appealed to the “ecofriendly” therm because it’s the very core of our startup and how FOG is a linux-based project I thought it would be in the same ecosystem where people are used to help each other for some cause or sympathize for the idea and etcetera, explore your technichal habilities was not my intention.
I will take a look on theese other projects, thank you again.

@Bob-Henderson I am really sorry for this delay on my reply.
Well, my goal its stream the OS to cheap end users devices, not only chromebooks. To do that we will use iPXE but there is a thing that we are stuck on it. iPXE send a http request to a IP number and the server answer with some scripts wich say where is the SO image that he needs to load. We dont know wich scripts is necessary to make this whole thing work neither if iPXE is able to load a .vhd file.
Could you guys give us some hand and help this ecofriendly startup to finally put the prototype in the air? Please…

@george1421 You mean is possible to do it by FOG or another imaging server like CCBoot?

@george1421 Windows and Linux

@george1421 Ahh
I was just doing some research about the FOG, I thought it would be useful to my startup.
We aim to “stream” the OS to the client, up to now we only know CCBoot that can do the trick, but it’s a paid solution and in large scale it will become very expensive.
I thought FOG would do it when I successfully upload the image to the client but I perceive that the image was written on the disk, not the RAM like this tech usually do.
I realize then that there is no writeback to the disk hosted on FOG server.

Hi guys, silly question here.
Once the host deploy the image and the user download files and install applications into it, is it possible to update the image of this host on fog and create a task that in every boot this host deploy the updated image on fog server?
