Good Afternoon Tim,

Thanks for your reply. I want to configure everything - I would much rather it be a community effort, rather than just me one guy, and then I end up having to maintain it. I mean, I don't mind, it's just that I want the knowledge to be shared beyond one person.

cfengine? Hmm… that word is blasphemy in the Puppet World! 

Everyone Else - Would anyone like to join me in creating a Puppet Module for installing Request Tracker? - I can be found on Google Plus, (misteritguru at gmail.com)
