OCS Inventory NG version 1.3.2 is out. RPM are available in fedora repository (rawhide and updates-testing), and in remi repository (Fedora ≥ 6 and RHEL / CentOS 4 to 5). It is a minor update (bugfix).

yum --enablerepo=remi install ocsinventory

For the inventory of linux computer, two agents are available:
The language selection from the login page (even for english) is mandatory to have a working interface. This issue is reported upstream.
