> (for me) one of the great strengths to RANCID is its simplicity.  it's capable of capturing information about your entire network into a single directory full of plain text files.  which means, that it's super-easy for a non-coder like me, to "grep -i <serial-number>" to find out where that last piece of equipment was installed.  of course, if you want to get fancy, you can dump this into a database, but ... then you're already much smarter than i am ...
