Request Tracker is an excellent product. I have installed/configured it for a few local companies here in the Lansing area. They have since transitioned their entire ticketing system over to it. The email tracking features are one of the softwares best advantages. The install can be kind of tricky with all of the perl modules, but if you have any questions I would be more than happy to assist you. Request Tracker is one of those projects that makes you really proud of the OSS community. :-) -Rob Keena Russell J.
