I just installed RT 3.6.1 from source with the DB running on a separate
server. As long as you specify the remote server properly when you do
the ./configure it will work just fine. Do

$ ./configure --help

to get a list of all the available options. I installed on Ubuntu 6.06,
but I followed the directions at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?DebianStableInstallGuide
which worked quite well with only minor modifications.
