I use GLPI:

You can do software, contracts, licenses, suppliers, and contacts as well as all the hardware categories.
Someone else mentioned ocsinventory-ng (http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/), but to complete the picture, ocsinventory-ng includes agents for windows and linux that will automatically send each machine's hardware and software inventory to the server periodically and can be used to deploy packages so it is easier and more accurate than doing it by hand and will stay up to date. GLPI is a more completed and detailed inventory system that can handle more than PCs, but it knows how to pull the data from ocsinventory when you use both.
Both are available via yum from these repositories (needs EPEL too) http://blog.famillecollet.com/post/2005/10/02/8-telechargement-installation-... and they work fine in English even though the developers are French.
