fog - Free Open Ghost

[mescall2000]

Hi to all!

I want to do a ebuild to emerge Free Open Ghost.

From project homepage (http://freeghost.no-ip.org):

"Fog is a Linux-based, free and open source computer imaging solution for Windows XP and Vista that ties together a few open-source tools with a php-based web interface. Fog doesn't use any boot disks, or CDs; everything is done via TFTP and PXE. Also with fog many drivers are built into the kernel, so you don't really need to worry about drivers (unless there isn't a linux kernel module for it). Fog also supports putting an image that came from a computer with a 80GB partition onto a machine with a 40GB hard drive as long as the data is less than 40GB.

Fog also includes a graphical Windows service that is used to change the hostname of the PC, restart the computer if a task is created for it, and auto import hosts into the FOG database. The service also install sprinters, and does simple snap-ins."

Sounds great, doesn't?

Some people can help me?

Did you build one or found any on the web?

Not trying to be sarcastic, but no-ip.org sites are notorious for being used as attack platforms; can you vouch that this is a legitimate FOSS project?

FOG is a legitimate project: http://fogproject.org/

My work entirely depends on it. Without it, I'm dead in the water.

Is there any luck in making an ebuild?

Sounds interesting, found this via Google

See page 52, it is a little outdated though

Thanks for the link. Fog's current stable is 0.32, so that PDF is just about as up-to-date as you can get.

I'll test out that ebuild when I get the chance.
