Can anyone recommend something for tracking assets

hostname
OS/arch
Hardware info(cpu, mem, etc)
Function(i.e. what is the machine used for)
I use GLPI:
<http://glpi-project.org/?lang=en>
You can do software, contracts, licenses, suppliers, and contacts as
well as all the hardware categories.
Someone else mentioned ocsinventory-ng
(http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/), but to complete the picture,
ocsinventory-ng includes agents for windows and linux that will
automatically send each machine's hardware and software inventory to the
server periodically and can be used to deploy packages so it is easier
and more accurate than doing it by hand and will stay up to date. GLPI
is a more completed and detailed inventory system that can handle more
than PCs, but it knows how to pull the data from ocsinventory when you
use both.
Both are available via yum from these repositories (needs EPEL too)

and they work fine in English even though the developers are French.
