Hi Chris, according to wikipedia an SOE is:
A standard implementation of an operating system and its associated software. It is typically implemented as a standard disk image that can be mass deployed to more than one computer in an organisation. It can include the base operating system, a custom configuration, standard applications used within an organisation, software updates and service packs. An SOE can apply to servers, desktops, laptops, thin clients, and mobile devices. SOEs on Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix/Unix-like systems can typically be made simply by creating and deploying disk images. Check a previous thread on this list with subject PC install, which had many excellent suggestions on how to deploy disk images. Regards, -- Markus On Aug 3, 2010, at 12:24 PM, Chris R.
