Bugzilla on Windows?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-painful-process dept.

slipandfall asks: "I just started work at a 100% Windows shop (no chance of changing this) and would love to implement Bugzilla for issue tracking but statements like this - 'Making Bugzilla work on Windows is still a painful processes.' in the OS-Specific installation notes don't make it seem reasonable. Since there is no chance of using Linux/UNIX here, can I get people's experiences using Bugzilla on Windows or experience with a tool (open source or not) on Windows with similar notification, discussion and issue tracking features?"

  1. Linux on VMware on Windows! by j-turkey · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So if your work machine has to run windows, set up something free (Linux, BSD, whatever) to run on VMware on top of Windows. It's a win-win!

    ;P

    I cant believe I'm going to say this, but why don't you run Linux *inside* Windows? Try coLinux:
    coLinux.

    On the other hand, I installed Bugzilla under Linux once, and it was overkill... I'm using Mantis for all my projects now.

    Isn't there some user mode linux port that runs under windows? In those webbased interfaces kind of software this might be a solutions.

    Anyone tried it? Or is user mode linix just a development toy?

    install it on your Linux Server at home and access it from the job. Easy enough.
