In response to rds's review, he probably hasn't looked at Bugzilla in a few years. It did indeed used to be exactly like he says, but it's changed a lot in the last few years. Installation is only as hard as your OS's Perl installation makes it (and that's getting better all the time with most distros already having most of the prerequisites now). It's pretty speedy if you run it under mod_perl. The ability to customize it is one of the big selling points these days.

Given the choice between current contenders (bugzilla, rt, trac, mantis) I'd still choose Bugzilla anyday.
It is incredibly customisable and far easier to get started with than either trac or mantis.
The documentation and support is superb - I was able to brand, add extra reports, integrate a blog and cvsweb, and provide custom front pages and searching in a matter of hours, and that was back in 2002, 6 years ago - it's improved

Hard to install and maintain, pretty slow, and almost impossible to customize. Why would you want such an issue tracker when there is Mantis, Trac, Scarab, TrackIt, jtrac. (if you want a commercial solution, I would recommand Jira)
