has anybody tried partimage?

 http://www.partimage.org/

It is sort like ghost with a gpl license.

looks like it will do a backup of your partions, but you
have to actually do the partitioning yourself.

I usually just save the home partion ( renaming my homedir brettb to
brettb.0) , and install the latest mandrake.
