Free alternative to Norton Ghost

I reinstall my laptop again due to various reasons, mainly because my laptop lacks Intel-VT and I can't run Xen. Hence I have to fall back to dual boot in order to have Ubuntu running on my hardware (no VMWare or VirtualBox does not help, I need wireless support for my Ubuntu to try some wireless security stuff).

But then Norton Ghost came to my mind, and along with it, I managed to find several free alternatives to Ghost. They are Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/) , FOG (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/) and partimage http://www.partimage.org).

It seems to me that Clonezilla is the best, but i need to first get my first a spare and big harddisk to try it out first.

Free software is great!!!
