Hardware-Management	26.9.2000
Didn't you always wanted to get hold of all the tons of hardware that fly around in your house? I mean, you surely have lots of harddrives, graphic cards and don't know which one is mounted in which computer - especially since they walk around through the machine park being used where they're needed. Now, there is no list of hard drives, if one fails, where is it from? What's the RMA number? What's its ID? Or the other way around you're looking for that damn 1gig drive from five years ago you've borrowed from a friend. Where the hell is it now? As long as this is only your private stuff, it's not that critical, but what happens if you also run a company and a non-commercial association or a free software project that runs a couple of machines around the net? The system needs to be db/sql-based and support a web-frontend. For sure, some lists need to be generated by commandline tools, maybe also inserts. I'll provide a figer as soon as I find some time to think about the exact requirements.
