Can ManagementScope be used to send wbem queries to Linux / MacOS clients from Windows? C#

Question

I'm currenty using C# and ManagementScope to connect to and run WMI queries on Windows machines on my network, and got this to work.

What I was wondering, and had some trouble finding information about, was if ManagementScope could be used to run WBEM queries on machines running Linux / MacOS? If not, what would I need to do to connect to Linux / MacOS clients from a Windows machine?

Mainly I want the query to return the machine's operating system and running processes. On Windows, this can be found in the WMI classes Win32_OperatingSystem and Win32_Process. What would be the equivalents in Linux/MacOS?

Thanks.

Wouldn't you need to have a server first on the Linux machine? e.g. one of those listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-Based_Enterprise_Management#Implementations
