Guys,
This has been a great help. Hadn't seen OcsInventory before and its
exactly what I'm looking for, and the GLPI integration is perfect.
Rackmonkey too, have a rack which in a datacenter and I need to get
the details out of my notebook into something more structured, and I
don't particularly want to go OcsInventory on that lot just yet, but
after running both for a bit I'll be able to work that one out myself!
Thanks
Paul.
