I think it made sense back when disk was more expensive... when a gigabyte was a crazy-big number. But now, when a full desktop weighs in at about 1% of the capacity of the cheapest disk? Not so much... Much easier to use some kind of imaging process now, if you need a bunch of identical machines...
