There are things that just have to work together and across platforms,
like the inventory, monitoring, and capacity tracking so I automatically
see it as going the wrong direction to even consider something that
locks you into a single OS or vendor. I'd like to promote greater linux
use, but can't unless the tools interoperate well and so far
ocsinventory and clonezilla are about the only ones that do.

Well, there's always java, in spite of the damage Red Hat has done to it
by shipping a broken imitation for years. Maybe hardware has gotten to
the point where the overhead doesn't matter.
