I provide technical support for several high schools in Spain and I have been building up a inventory of the schools machines. On the windows only computers I normally run PC Wizard to quickly get a good overview of the machines hardware, software and network settings. Is there an equivalent tool preferable with a GUI and an export option to html or pdf in Ubuntu.

I have tried a few options such as: Gnomes gconf-editor hardinfo (GUI) lshw (CLI)

I'm just looking for an all in one application that builds a detailed profile of the installed software, hardware and network setting of a particular machine.

I have found Sysinfo which is quite good, it displays the most important hardware info and allows you to save it to a text file with a neat GUI. I'm still looking for a more complete solution but it's a good start.
