Ghost is a very powerful tool to create / restore OS images.
But Ghost doesn't support GRUB boot loader in MBR (my experience with old Ghost) if your HDD got Linux file systems.
Usually you need to manually fix and re-install boot loader after you cloning a machine.
I just try Ghost 11.5 with option -id and this does support GRUB in MBR without any problems!
Really cool!
Option -id use sector-by-sector method to create image. So that you won't miss any data on your HDD including MBR, boot sector and so on.
I also recommend to use CloneZilla to create / restore Linux OS image. This is a great utility with open source license. Just check: http://www.clonezilla.org/
