    Yes! I set up RT (3.2.2) for my business recently on FC3, but in the
    past have run RT on RH9, FC1 and WBEL. I will hopefully soon be able to
    move RT to CentOS.

    Installing from source is your absolute best bet with Red Hat based
    distros since, as far as I know, RPMS are rather lacking.

    > Any hints to getting Request Tracker working on FC3?

    Off hand:

    - you'll need to upgrade MySQL since RT 3.4.1 requires MySQL 4+
    - I built MySQL from the Fedora devel RPMS, and it works, but I
      keep getting errors about the password type not being supported
      by the MySQL client on the server. Easy enough to get around,
      but it means using the older password format in MySQL
    - you may encounter SELinux problems, but I've noticed the latest
      SELinux policies no longer generate denials (I had to run in
      permissive mode just to get RT to work).
    - getting FastCGI to work was a massive undertaking, although
      that's entirely because I'm not an Apache guru.

    Search this list, the Fedora SELinux list, and the RT list for posts by
    me about running RT on FC3.

    > Is there a yum or apt repository that has RPMs?

    None that I know of. I've looked too, but I haven't found anything.
    Again, installing from source is fairly easy, so I haven't missed RPMS.

    If you're still in need of assistance, send me an email off-list: I can
    help you out.

    HTH,

    Ranbir
