Look at http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/.  There are agents for both
Windows and Linux that report the hardware/software inventory, disk
space, etc. back to a central server on a scheduled basis and you can
also use it to deploy programs or run commands on the clients.

There's a Centos/RHEL packaged server (needs EPEL too) and I think
fedora also in this repository:
