Hola:

Yo fui administrador de sistemas para la implementación de Paraguay en 2009,
podrias echarle un vistazo a la wiki de la ONG Paraguay Educa que implementa
el proyecto en Paraguay:

http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org

Ahi desarrollaron un sistema de control de inventario que esta muy bueno y
completo.

http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Instalacion_Inventario
http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Inventario_manual/en

Agrego en CC a el actual administrador de sistemas (Carlos) y uno de los
desarrolladores (Martin) que te pueden dar un mano

In english:

Hello:

I was the sysadmin for the paraguay deployment 2009, you could take a look
at the Paraguay Educa Wiki that is in charge of the OLPC deployment in
Paraguay

http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org

They developed a inventory system that is very good and complete:

I'm adding a CC to the current sysadmin (Carlos), and a developer also
(Martin), perhaps they can give you a hand.
