How to build your own Linux distro
,----[ Quote ]
| Since Manchester University's Owen Le Blanc released MCC Interim Linux
| (generally agreed to have been the first Linux distribution), way back in
| 1992, there have been hundreds of ways to get the world's favourite free
| software operating system on to a computer. The diversity of alternatives
| reflects the diversity in the development community, with distros split along
| technical, functional, linguistic and even ideological lines.

Clonezilla: Sheer awesomeness
,----[ Quote ]
| I was going to start by saying that building a Crux system is a long and
| tedious process. But really, no matter what software you’re using, building a
| system to your liking takes time and effort.
|
| But for someone like me, who swaps out systems sometimes once or twice in the
| course of a few days, building and rebuilding, installing and reinstalling …
| it can be very time consuming.
|
| So I took some advice and looked into Clonezilla, and I really like what I
| found. Now I have a way of flashing an entire system — an entire hard drive,
| really — to a file or a folder, and switching between systems in a matter of
| minutes.

Review: CloneZilla 1.2
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm really impressed with CloneZilla. While it's not
| graphically driven like Parted Magic is, it's still very
| easy and intuitive to use and one I would recommend for
| newer users (but not complete newbies) to use when copying
| or cloning their hard drives.

Manage partitions and disks with GParted-Clonezilla live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| For a home user or an
| administrator with just a few systems, the
| GParted-Clonezilla live CD
| is an excellent tool for managing disks. It can
| save you several hours when
| preparing new disks or migrating partitions from
| one disk to another. It's also
| a fantastic way to move a partition that's not
| around free space into a bigger
| partition without much fuss.
