Anyone know of an OS/Software inventory tool that supports Linux and Windows
that is agentless?

Thanks,

No, but ocsinventory-ng (http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/) has an agent 
rpm for centos in the epel repository and a remote deployment tool that 
makes putting it on windows and other linux versions fairly painless.

The server is yum-able from 
http://blog.famillecollet.com/post/2009/04/21/ocsinventory-1.02-1-en
(epel must also be enabled).

If you want more than just computers in your inventory, it also 
integrates with  http://glpi-project.org/?lang=en

If it is agentless how does it gain the information? You can manually
enter items into GLPI (which works with OCS-ng) but pretty much
everything automatic requires some sort of agent (using the definition
that SNMP is an agent).
