Almost all of the products that used to be available have left the market, but as others have said, new ones are here. I haven't seen anyone really talking about their experiences with them, so I don't know how many, if any, are in use. Almost all the people I've heard talk about their cloning processes have developed home grown ones. The Cookbook Redbooks Mike MacIsaac and his co-authors have published have cloning tools included, but no patching capability that I'm aware of. Novell has ZENworks Linux Management, but it doesn't do cloning.
