For MS Windows, you can try to use sysprep, i.e. install it before you
imaging the disk.
For GNU/Linux, normally what you have to deal with before you image it is:
1. Clean the MAC address in the udev, e.g. for Debian, it's
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
2. /etc/fstab, if it uses hardware serial number, this happens in SuSE.
You'd better to change it to use UUID or /dev/[hs]d[a-z] format.
Maybe more... If anyone has some experience about this, please share that.
