I've had a breif look at both Mantis, GLPI and Trac. Going to look at RT when I get the chance. My impression so far is this: GLPI seem to be overkill with regards to what I'm searching for, namely a simple issue/request tracker system. Mantis, being a bug tracking software, seems to focus more on bug reporting. On the other hand, Mantis is focusing on software development. How is other sysadmins utilizing these software products in operations? Essentially, what I need is to record both requests (such as install new computer, debug something, create users, and so on) from my customers, and long term projects (typically internal projects initiated by us linux sysadmins). It's important to be able to set all requests up with a due date, so that the software triggers an alarm when the request's due date is apporaching. Naturally, as all the above tools implement, the software should support assigning requests to different sysadmins. So based on my limited experience with the software products about, neither of them seem to be "the perfect tool" for our needs. Therefore I'd greatly appreciate it if users of those products provide me a introduction to how they've configured the products to suite these kind of needs.
