CentOS - Aug 2005 - CentOS 4.0 compatible with Dell's OpenManage?

Hi,

I'm looking into purchasing a few Dell Servers and installing it with 
CentOS 4.1. It comes with this software called the the Dell OpenManage 
Software Kit for PowerEdge that allows for remote monitoring of the servers.

Has anyone out there successfully installed the OpenManage s/ware? Is it 
compatible with CentOS 4.1?

Any opinions / feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Andrew

First question to be asked would be, is it for Windows or Linux?

It should work just fine with the latest and greatest OMSA. For more details 
you should probably head over to:

There are Dell OpenManage agents for Linux.  I don't know if their
entire management suits runs on Linux, but they do provide the agents.
