[ale] Ghost for Linux

[Brian MacLeod]

Mario Horvat of Sentinel Data Security has a nice write up for using dd
both locally and over the network.  Page 13 of the PDF is extremely
helpful, as I use this to clone XP machines using Knoppix CDs.

This site also is pretty good, and does a bit of explaining why some
methods are better than others when using dd.
