Software for a One-Man IT Department?

skywalker107 asks: "I am a one man IT department for a small Company (~100 PCs 4 Servers). I know that the bigger companies use alot of admin tools for inventory, documentation and management. Right now all of my information is spread out over documents, spreadsheets, and diagrams. The software I have tried has been poor at best and only covers one of the areas I need. What do the other small IT departments use to bring this information together and help manage the madness? Is shareware/freeware a good route? Does the open source movement have anything to fit a small scale setting?"

The only software you need is Half-Life 2 and an intern to play against. Just make sure you get OWNED by the intern, especially if she is a girl, or your reputation in the company will be ruined.
