[OPLINTECH] Imaging Software

I'll also assume you're talking about cloning computers not editing graphics so I'll jump on the Clonezilla bandwagon.
As I tell my Goodwill volunteers you just have to hit the enter key 13 times and answer 3 questions and you're done. Other useless info....I keep about 15 40-gig images on old 80-gig external hard drives and keep a master image file on a larger external hard drive in the event that a volunteer answers one of the questions incorrectly and I have to rebuild a drive.
It's worthy to note that there are 2 limitations to Clonezilla. One being that it does not automatically reset a drive so the recommended best practice is to create your original image on a drive small then the target, and setting up a Clonezilla server is a bit of a challenge.
For those of you have who not used it, here's an illustrated tutorial:

I also have, on my home computer, a pretty simple tutorial on setting up a server. Email me if you want it and I'll send them out tonight.

Is anyone out there using a good free imaging software?  If so, what?  
Is it easy to use?

Thanks,
