I agree with the conflicting information in the documentation - for a
person such as myself - who is infinitely more comfortable getting my
hands dirty with an AD configuration and design than compiling packages
on a Linux box (however, not shy to try), the contradictions make RT
rather difficult to come to grips with.  For example, "use apache 2"
then "don't use apache 2" and "use the latest mysql" versus "don't use
mysql 4.1.x" and the "create a Linux group called 'rt'" to the debian
package not actually creating this group upon installation, and also the
Debian install instructions themselves not being too sure if they were
written for postgresql or mysql as the *default* database.

If we could clear this up (and I say "we" because I'm interested in
helping where I can if RT proves to be the product Quark IT will use)
then RT would likely become an easier application to install, resulting
in less "newbie" questions asking about the basics that *should* be
covered clearly in the docs.
