Hi all,<br><br>We've been using Horde+whups system for helpdesk in our University<br>for the past 3 years. We recently upgraded it from a very old version and<br>everything got hosed. We are planning to move to a better ticketing system<br>
that is more stable and can be upgraded later without breaking the existing<br>infrastructure (databases, etc.). I heard good things about RT.<br><br>My questions to you guys are the following:<br>1) We use a FreeBSD system. I see that there is a port available (rt36) for<br>
version 3.6 but none for 3.8 yet. Is it ok if I go ahead and install rt36 now<br> and later on upgrade to rt38 whenever it is available? If not, do you suggest<br> that I manually download the latest version of rt3.8.1 and then install it<br>
from the source? Which method is safer/easier for upgrades in the long<br> run?<br><br>2) If FreeBSD systems are not well supported, we can also move to a Linux<br> system. Is it better to use a Linux system?<br>
<br>3) I've been reading that RT is memory intensive. Is 2 GB enough? This<br> machine also runs the DHCP server. Do you guys recommend to have a<br> separate system for RT?<br><br>I hope these questions belong to this list. If not, can you please point me to<br>
the correct list?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Joe the rtuser :)<br>
