Clonezilla Woes

I thought now would be a good time to chronicle some of our problems with Clonezilla. First off it kinda hurt us that not all of us and any experience with Linux. I myself have some knowledge with Linux, I've used it a little, but I didn't have enough experience with it to set down and do the coding in the terminal necessary. One of the requirements to run Clonezilla is that the computer your installing it on must have two NICs in it. This presented a problem because we couldn't figure out how to configure Linux to accept two NICs; but after a few days of fiddling with it, and countless Google searches, we finally got it figured out. Then came actually installing Clonezilla; we had to read up on how to install it, thankfully there were many guides to help with this. Unfortunately none of the guides were exactly the same, and none of them had the same setup has we had; they all recommended setting up static IPs for all the computers including the clients, that just wasn't an option for the campus. So we had to disable quite a few settings in the install. Once we actually got it installed, we were presented with a text-based interface; while much better than a command line interface, this presented problems because there were no options to change anything once you went through the setup steps. We also had ther problems but decided to try FOG (free open-source ghost) to see if it was any easier. We also learned that it has a bad habit of messing up the MBR.
