[UniMacTech] Opinions on Casper Suite

[Mark Szota]

Hi

I've tried to use Casper Composer for package creation in our student 
environment but I'm not a huge fan of it. Seemed buggy under Leopard and 
their pre-made 'templates' for packages don't seem to be kept up to date 
by themselves or the community of users. Maybe there are newer versions 
as I haven't used it for over 6 months.

Haven't used the rest of the suite though so I can't comment on that. I 
would think most would suggest using Apple Remote Desktop over Casper, 
unless there's some extra bits in Casper that ARD doesn't have.

Cheers
Mark
