I have a system w/ Ubuntu running, and w/ all necessary packages and sw (Libreoffice, Lotus Notes...).
I need to make other systems like this, without having to install each one and one.
How can I make this clones ?
Of course each one will have its own IP and hostname. But this I can change later.
Seems easy, or not ?
Thanks,

Clonezilla, available at the site below but check the Ubuntu Software Center first. You can clone partitions or the entire drive.

I agree, this time Clonezilla might be the best tool.

Next time you can make an OEM install (install additional program packages etc) as the user OEM, and after that each copy can be easily made unique by the end users. See this link
