Clonezilla vs. FOG

Looking for some feedback on a solution for imaging here.

Currently I'm using Clonezilla on a Ubuntu server to store and push out base images of laptops used within our organization.

I'd like to have the feature of wiping machines before they're decommissioned available on Clonezilla but it looks as though that's not going to be possible.

FOG appears to be a solution that will allow system imaging and HDD wiping.

What I'm looking for is feedback from people who use FOG or have used FOG, additionally, a query I have is whether I would be able to migrate the Clonezilla images to a FOG server for use to avoid having to start over.

Not sure about the migration of images but know friends who use it regularly and would not move to anything else.

These may be worth a listen:

Thanks Kinet1c, will give them a listen this evening

We don't have stock of laptops that we have images for on the clonezilla server so what I could do is setup FOG & keep the Clonezilla server running in tandem. If a machine comes in then I can put the clonezilla image on it, then push the image to the FOG server until I'm up to date on the FOG server, then decommission the Clonezilla server.

I'll listen to the podcasts and keep you updated! Thanks again.
