Not to be rude, but I can search too.  The results of a search aren't always 
all that useful though (see below).

Has potential - I'll play with it.
> http://simpleassets.sourceforge.net/
Very inflexible, limited selection of attributes and really more intended as a 
responsibility system it appears, keeping track of who owns different assets.
> http://helpcore.sourceforge.net/
Website is a link to a site that doesn't work.
> http://ascent.sourceforge.net/
Abandonware that didn't get too far.
> https://sourceforge.net/projects/enetman/
Bad website - will have to download a play to see what features it has.
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/nexb
Doesn't actually do asset management, but is a module of an asset management 
project they have planned.

Development Status  : 1 - Planning

Decent project, except it doesn't have any ability to change the attributes 
you can store.  This is actually a pretty decent looking package for request 
tracking, task management, etc.

I'm just apparently in a minority looking for an asset manager that *only* 
does asset management, and doesn't compromise that for a bunch of other 
functionality that I'd prefer to stick with Nagios and Request Tracker.  Any 
integration between them, I'd rather just do with cross-links and I'd be 
perfectly satisfied with that.
