[lugip] imaging solution for Linux, meeting review and thanks.

[John Martinetti]

Thanks to all of you for coming out to last night's meeting.  It was really
quite a good meeting and reminiscent of the spontaneity and spirit of the
early meetings when we used to meet at the Annex!  Thanks to Greg for
sharing the Rackspace Cloud computing demo - very interesting.
And thanks to Sakuramboo for sharing the TestDisk demo.

Val brought a friend, Anatoli who inquired about a Linux based imaging
solution he was interested in that could take snapshots for archival
purposes. We discussed a few existing solutions but none of what we
discussed quite fit the bill for what he was looking to do.
I emailed my coworker Bob, who seems to absorb all-things-Linux&FOSS while
he sleeps at night, and he came up with this suggestion:

Anatoli - check this out and let us know if this was similar to what you
were looking for.  Seems pretty neat to me.  I also like how it can output
to ISO format....very handy. Not sure if this was what you were looking for
but I thought it was interesting enough to share with the group - has anyone
had any experience with this tool?

Again - thanks for coming out - see you all in the new year!
