SystemImager was created by Brian Elliott Finley, who continues to maintain it as the SystemImager team lead. Its initial implementation was known as Pterodactyl, which was used for software and password updates to Solaris boxes of varying hardware and OS versions across a nationwide enterprise network. Many SystemImager design decisions were based on perceived shortcomings in other automated install tools for systems such as Solaris, RedHat Linux, and Windows. Eventually, SystemImager evolved into the Linux-specific autoinstall and software distribution tool that it is today.
