Meh, Ghost is okay.  The problem I have with Ghost is that the image
quickly gets out-of-date, and then you're left with the prospect of either
ghosting to a virgin system, updating, and re-making the image.  Or, you
can just run a slew of updates after imaging a box, which defeats the
purpose of the operation.

The beauty of nLite is that you just provide updated patch packages, and
respin the ISO.
