Howdy,
I was wondering if you ever got OCS-NG to work. I tried to do a install and it failed horribly. I feel its a issue w/ the installation scripts of OCS-NG. Anyways good article.

Have a look at Open-AudIT. It is a PC configuration/inventory program. Runs on Win/Lin, PHP and MySQL. Uses VBScript and Bash to audit PCs. GPL Licensed.

Great tutorial -- we’ve been using glpi on Windows since I didn’t know there was a aptitude package. We’ll be converting soon. Thanks!

I see that you’re using the root mysql user for the DB connection. Is this value used only for the DB/Schema creation, or is this value persisted after the installation? It would be unwise to leverage the root user for the persistent connection information.

The other issue that I see is that there is no socket/port selection in the mysql db configuration screen. If you use a socket other than /var/mysql.sock or a port other than 3306, what happens? Does it read from the ~/.my.cnf, or are you SOL? Can DB the server name be localhost:3307?

Fantastic guide! Worked a treat! We can use this rather than supportsuite… go open-source!
