Well it looks like it does rhel/centos/fedora/solaris which just leaves windows for me. (Caught the Solaris bit off the wiki) What don't you like about Ocsinventory-ng? OpenNMS is very nice:) Too much learning curve, no time atm. I use Nagios, and would love to move off it to Zenoss but it looks like the support around zenoss isn't as good. Thanks, jlc
