Thoughts from the abyss

I played with OCS Inventory a few years ago, but it wasn’t very mature when I last touched it, so I kind of abandoned using it around the office. I was made known, however, on the CentOS mailing list that it integrates into GLPI’s tracking software. It’s now able to pull over the database of all kids of goodies for hosts hooked up with OCS. I’m excited now.

I’m in the middle of deploying a system at work. I’ll be typing up a new how-to guide in case anyone cares to use it. I’ll post it as soon as it’s complete, and also I’ll add it to the CentOS wiki. I’m concentrating on version 1.01 of OCS instead of 1.02, because I tried out 1.02 and wasn’t able to get it working well. Perhaps it’s my doing, but 1.01 works nicely, so I’ll stick to that.
