SystemImager was conceived and developed by Brian Finley. It's initial implementation was known as Pterodactyl and was used for software and password updates to Solaris boxes of varying hardware and OS versions across a nation wide enterprise network. Over time it evolved into the Linux specific autoinstall and software distribution tool that it is today. Many of the design decisions for SystemImager were based on perceived short comings in other automated install tools for systems such as Solaris, RedHat Linux, and Windows.
