It's pretty hard the first time, but once you know what it wants to do,
it's easy to do.  I have rpms of RT3 and the supporting CPAN modules
that aren't in RH, and run it with mod_fastcgi.  I can make some spec files
and rpms available if you like.

Never heard of scarab.  There were no other ticketing systems when I looked,
RT is the best of a bad bunch, imho.  It's getting better all the time
though.
