I know that Ghost is good for doing a bit-for-bit disk copy for Microsoft OSes, but does it really properly grok Linux and FreeBSD filesystems? How does it manage to grow a Linux or FreeBSD filesystem? Heck, for that matter, how does it manage to grow a Microsoft filesystem? -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> Do you hate Microsoft?
