Is there a Ghost for Linux?

Image Cast 3 (IC3) will "ghost" a partition onto your computer given a
floppy and a compatible ethernet card.  Unlike winblows compatible
partitions, it will not resize the partition for you.  (For example, it will
resize a 3 GB ntfs or fat32 part to fill your 10 GB drives in your new
machines, and  your 4 GB drives in your older ones.)

It will multicast the images to as many machines as you like at once, also.

It isn't cheap though.

I heard the new version of image cast is out, but I don't know what has been
improved.  Time limited Demo versions are available to get you addicted, btw.
