    Check out Nagios. Other alternatives are listed on the page. (http://ostatic.com/45028-software-opensource/nagios)


    They include Zenoss and Zabbix.


    Nagios works well - check out my review there.

    Try out Hyperic - its open source, free and has received really good reviews in the market.

    I am not sure what you mean by monitoring computers. But if its a simple way of connecting to the computers in the lan and able to take control of them from a single PC, you could try Kaboodle (uses VNC to take control of the remote PC).
