I am looking for some imaging software, either network, or with a external hard drive. For both PC and MAC. Preferrably a free program.
What all do you guys use?

What kind of imaging? What do you mean by the term \"image\"?

Nothing that is free and I do this daily without booting to an O/S, what are you planning to do (see
Acronis True Image for simplicity )

I use RawCopy. It's part of
UBCD 4 Windows.

At work on our Macs we use Deploy Studio. It's free. Does both Windows (BootCamp) and Mac imaging.
Not sure if that's what you were after when you mentioned works on PC and Mac.
As for just our plain ol' PC's, we use Ghost (not free).

Sorry for not any more info, I currently just got a job at my local school district, and right now for the windows machines they are using either Zen network imaging, or DRLB server with clonezilla. So my basic needs would be to setup a PXE server, or a network image server to install a image that I have prepared. So I was just wanting some insight.
The last few days I was toying with Acronis and clonezilla, so I was just wanting some suggestions of what others use.

Where I work we like to use WinPE to boot from CD, DVD, or USB thumb drive ... connect to our network and use Ghost to upload/download images or \"blast\" an image onto groups of computers. We also use PXE but you have to have multicast working right on your network routers/switches in order for PXE to work well/reliably.

Yes we also use PXE WindowsPE (the Vista version).
We are still using Ghost32 8.0.
