This system makes it possible to install a complete Debian system with no user interaction from a set of configuration files. And "partimage"? apt-cache show partimage: Description: Linux/UNIX utility to save partitions in a compressed image file This makes it possible to save a full Linux/Windows system with a single operation. In case of a problem (virus, crash, error, etc.), you just have to restore, and after several minutes, your entire system is restored (boot, files, etc.), and fully working. Those are already working. Maybe a bit of polish or just code jarnitor work can make them be a viable installation system for mass admin places.
