[rt-users] Advice for New Machine

[Potla, Ashish Bassaliel]

I am in the process of upgrading RT 3.6.5 to RT 3.8.2 . In fact I have it set up in Dev arena and waiting for user testing before I move it to production by the end of the month probably.. hopefully

I use Solaris , Apache2 with mod_perl2 and DB on Oracle. 
Doesnt seem too bad  :)

We recently updated from 3.6 to 3.8. I tried to get 3.8.2 going in an
OpenSolaris (snv_101) zone and Ubuntu 8.10 (also tried Jaunty alpha)
server installation. Neither was anywhere close to a clean install, and
neither worked to my level of satisfaction. I ended up using a Gentoo
server. In my opinion, Gentoo and RT 3.8 is a pretty good match. Being a
source based distribution helps, I think.

Just my 2c.
