Ghost for Linux project is a hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tool similar to "Norton Ghost" and by Symantec.

The created images are optionally compressed, and they can be stored on a local hard drive or transferred to an anonymous FTP server.

A drive can be cloned using the "Click'n'Clone" function. g4l supports file splitting if the local filesystem does not support writing files >2GB. The included kernel supports ATA, serial-ATA, and SCSI drives.

Common network cards are supported. It is packaged as a bootable CD image with an ncurses GUI for easy use.

What's New in This Release:
An NTFSCLONE option was added to network backup.
This allows the creation of backups of the actual data used on an NTFS partition rather than just a dd image.
The default kernel was changed to 2.6.15.6 due to hardware incompatibilities in 2.6.16.x kernels.
2.6.16.20 is still available along with other kernels to assure compatibility with the largest number of systems.
A very basic graphic was added to the syslinux startup.
