I use Debian with RT3. Specifically, I use Debian/stable with RT from 
Debian/testing (and whatever dependencies that also requires from 
testing). This is trivial to install: you start by installing stable, 
then you add the testing apt sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list, 
and then you run

apt-get install --target-release testing request-tracker3

and all the dependencies are taken care of for you.

The RT3 in testing is at 3.0.6, which is a little behind unstable 
(3.0.8), but the lag usually isn't more than a few weeks, and I 
prefer not to run other packages from unstable.
