Disadvantages
Updating of clones versions required from time to time.
(Not suitable as it stands for very large sites)
If a user adds their own software to ‘their’ system, this may be ‘lost’ during an upgrade.
All applications distributed to all systems. (May need to buy ‘unnecessary’ licenses.)
Can we have problems with different hardware in PCs that is not handled correctly by cloning?
(Not the same setup as elsewhere at RAL.)
