Web Based Computer Lab Imaging with Grimiore
Josh A. Meek, Michael K. Bradshaw · 2009
We present Grimiore, a web-based frontend for the disk imaging software Clonezilla. Grimiore was created to maintain computer labs in an academic setting. Each class had different needs for software and operating systems, yet classes compromise on what is installed so they can coexist in the same lab. Reinstalling the operating systems on the lab computers takes too long to be done daily, for each class. Labs, which are maintained by the professors, also face the problem of malfunctioning computers, and the time needed to troubleshoot the issue or reinstall the computer's operating system is often not available during the semester.
