The current version is considerably nicer, and there is a new tool to
remotely deploy the agents. I think it has to run under windows but it
will deploy both the windows and linux agents using windows management

I'm sort of hoping to go one step further and extract data from the ocs
or glpi databases into the pentaho tools for reporting and analysis
(http://www.pentaho.com) but I don't have any experience with that yet.
