I don't understand - why do you say Dell OpenManage sucks? Easy, rapid implementation. Decent greenlight/redlight. Web delivered, BIOS and firmware management, can show SIMM failures down to the slot. I've seen it do a fine job for the nearly-free price. (comes free with server purchase, subscription is very cheap) If you're a budget-constrained small business that already owns Dell hardware, you'd be smart to least try it. Is IBM Director free with hdw purchase? If so, how do you keep Director on Linux from killing the machine? I've had it bring a SuSE Linux 8.3 box to it's knees, something about a conflict with the remote console card in the server. I de-installed and never went back.
