Francis,
RT is the way to go, like you said it has all the functionality you have mentioned below. Setting it up on SUSE 9.2 ( that was some time back ) wasnt that hard except for the numerous perl modules that are needed ( used CPAN ).
Good luck though.

Guido,

I am actually looking for a request manager. The cost is not a bother. !!! It's just that I would like to set up a system to allow the staff memebers to remotely send requests / problems to a central system monitoring desk, to allow for efficient and managed manitainace and record keeping. After some small research I decided to use RT. If U can help me with a "better" system, I'd be glad to implement it. (though setting up RT would be a real boon.)

FRANCIS.

PS: Have been to sohne.net, the link to MAC OX is down. U could try uploading to rapidshare, or finding links to other providers.

I don't think it is just about cost. Even the not free bug trackers aren't really good in my opinion.

There's no benefit from using a bug tracking system when people don't actually use it and it is more important for it to be usable than for it to have features that you will probably never, or hardly ever use.

RT probably does the job, as do a host of other bug tracking systems. How well do they do the job? That's another issue entirely ...

If I had to pick just one and I had a budget for it, I would probably take FogBUGZ or JIRA. If I needed it to be free at all costs, then I would take a look at RT or Mantis.

You can try JIRA from Atlassian instead, or FogzBUGZ .... they may cost
a bit but I think they are better.

have used RT in may enterprises (large and small) for a while. i think
RT, though a little unfriendly and demanding at the beginning, is a very
robust, scalable, feature-packed and above all, free incident/request
tracking system.

i wouldn't look anywhere else.
