I use that for some clients, working on getting my linux monitoring box all setup using Nagios and Cacti.
If you just want monitoring, I think the linux is the way to go, cacti has a lot of capabilities for SNMP and graphing, Nagios is a good up/down/alert service.
But if you dont want linux to monitor windows, give spiceworks a shot. it will alert you of events, drive space depleting, etc......its an ad paid for service that you can pay like $10 a month to get with no adds though.
You don't say how big the environment is. If it's under 30 servers and 500 workstations, look into System Center Essentials. If it's bigger, SCOM is a good solution, but can require several servers for implementation.
