My current production RT uses the packages of 3.4.2 which came with  
Debian Sarge.  That worked fine, and the package maintainers have  
worked hard to make sure you can still customise it sensibly.

I'm currently evaluating RT 3.8.0, on an Etch system.  Obviously there  
are no pre-built debs this time, so I'm doing it the normal way.  It's  
worth noting that RT 3.8 requires several perl modules at a more  
recent revision than that available in Etch, so I had to upgrade  
them.  In Ubuntu Hardy Heron, you might have more luck, since that's  
more recent, and it may work out of the box, although you'll probably  
still have to install some perl modules which Debian (and therefore  
probably Ubuntu) don't have packaged yet.

I don't see why it should.  It's usually pretty hard to tell you're on  
a virtual machine at all, let alone finding any problems with it.
