@Guang Chao: Appreciate the thought . . . but I think this is more like "Time Machine" or the windows idea of moving the system to a specific place in the timeline, rather than the clone concept . . . .

The little blurb for what it does seemed to mention that it "clones to 40 machines" . . . something like that, and I only want to clone just one . . . so I was looking to see if anyone had actual experience with it . . . . As mentioned before, in the linux world I haven't needed a clone, as the systems were constantly being upgraded, there was always a fresh install coming along; but, now in PPC that has gone "static" . . . the envelope has been pushed as long as it could apparently be . . . so being able to clone the "what is" . . . into a new HD could be a time saver . . . .
