Symantec Ghost

[NDGeist]

Im looking to get a copy of ghost for work and heres what i need.
It has to have the Multicast option, and be able to work with say 50 computers, what version do i need. i need it to be able to support Linux and Win Versions. i have heard i should get 6.5 but i have also heard i need enterprise edition... what is the difference?
Thanks
Chip

Ghost 6.5 is the "Enterprise Edition."

While Symantec makes "Ghost 2001" that is not what you are looking for.

You will be happy with "6.5 E/E."

I posed the same question in another message board. People told me that ImageCast IC3 is better for network deployment, which is what you might be doing. I'd check out this link before you buy Ghost: IC3 info

Link for demo

My only fear is that it wont support Redhat 7.0... as the filesystem is Slightly Different than the Filesystem for redhat 6.2. Symantec has a demo you can dl and i tried it with 7.0, the OS worked fine but when i booted i got this "INVALID CHARACTER -102" after all of the {PASSED}'s... and my customers wont have that im sure... just looks bad
Thanks

I use exclusively Ghost 6.5 enterprise at my job. We have about 1000+ client licenses and it's been working out great. However, I wouldn't know about linux, since we have separate department taking care of unix/linux clones.

Its sad. We have 3000 client licenses, but out WAN is so poorly constructed, we can't come close to taking advantage of it.
