Hi,

as suggest, RT is a good choice.
But it requires some thinking and planning in advance, and a good  
knowledge of PERL-intrinsics on RHEL/CentOS, as it requires around 200  
different PERL-module dependencies.
I've never installed it on anything other than FreeBSD (FreeBSD now  
provides all of the modules in it's ports-system)
When I have to update it, or PERL, or some of the modules, I usually  
wipe the whole PERL-installation and install it from scratch.
I also use a VMware-instance as test-platform.

There is a book about RT from O'Reilly. It's old, but not ancient and  
teaches the concepts quite well.
The rest can be gained from reading the mailing-list and the wiki.

How fast do you need to get it up and running?



Best Regards,
Rainer
