Any advice on how to create and deploy/push out images (only 50mb max) using Linux variant/tools?

If its a persistant image, why not use kickstart file and PXE boot?

I`m not familiar with kickstart but I`ll have a look, essentially tho it can simply define an image (as oppose to a build on the fly) to push out?

you could use a program called FOG we are currently trialling it on a Linux box and so far we are very impressed

PXE boot a mindi iso and use MondoRescue

Never used this before or heard of it, tried it today and it is EXCELLENT, its currently imaging off a 250GB Linux database test server to a CIFS share, very very cool - like it a lot, similar to Ghost.
