I am completely new with clonezilla and don't know much about it, but I really want to try. I have to make an ubuntu image to be then deployed to several computers. My questions is: does clonezilla imaging removes user specific configuration - or at least gives you a chance to change it during the process (i.e, computer name, username, etc)?
If not, after the image is deployed in all the client computers, is there a "post installation" way to remove it so that each machine can be given a unique computer name, username, etc?
Many thanks in advance!

"does clonezilla imaging removes user specific configuration " -> No. However Clonezilla provides an option for you to use your own script after restoring/cloning:

"ocs_postrun" is the one you can use.
