With that,a couple questions: After reading the message subject and this paragraph, I'm not sure what you're running, exactly. You mention Linux -- FreeBSD is not Linux. You also mention PC-BSD. FreeBSD is also not PC-BSD (although PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD). All the different *nixes can be confusing, but clarifying your setup will make it easier for us to help. > 1) Can RT be ran from PC-BSD if you are familiar with RT? This seems to be an RT or PC-BSD -specfic question; this list is not dedicated to either piece of software. You'll have better luck asking in PC-BSD's support channels or on the RT-users' mailing list, rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com. Since RT is mostly Perl-dependent, I imagine you could get it running (albeit with a little fuss), although PC-BSD isn't explicitly supported by BestPractical. I'd recommend choosing an OS officially supported by BP (like FreeBSD, various Linuxes, or Solaris) -- many of these OSs have packages or ports of RT available, as well, although compiling it by hand is often a better choice for production servers. > 2) What PERL version is included in this distro? I'm sure they have Perl 5.8.3+, although I can't find anything on their site to corroborate that. Again, you'll have better luck asking PC-BSD. > Thanks, Good luck! -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | jabber:..wcmaier@jabber.ccc.de | email:..........wcmaier@ml1.net | | \.........wcmaier@cae.wisc.edu | \..........wcmaier@cae.wisc.edu | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------*
