Those of you who know NT are aware of something called SMS which
is, in a nutshell, a way to configure, monitor, administer and
index multiple systems.

Linux currently has nothing as powerful and as easy to use. It’s
time to change that. I propose to make a series of applications
that can work together in bringing that functionality to an
administrator’s desktop. Of course I can’t possibly recreate SMS
alone, so I’m looking for volunteers that could help in writting
such apps.
