Take a look at systemsimager (www.systemsimager.org) as it is expressly
built for this purpose (and it's free & open source). In addition to being
able to quickly image a box from a saved golden image, you can also easily
update previously imaged boxes once they have rolled into service by making
careful changes to your golden image and then having the pre-existing
clients pull only the changed parts over on a file by file basis (i.e. you
don't have to re-image a whole pre-existing client to get it updated).
