Overview
- Overview

FOG Project is a free, open-source network imaging and computer-management system. A district hosts FOG on a supported Linux server and uses PXE boot, Partclone, and a web console to capture and deploy disk images to Windows and Linux endpoints without visiting each device with removable media.
The deployed image determines the starting state of a computer. Technicians connect image versions, hardware groups, and deployment results with inventory and later device configuration work.

District-managed infrastructure
