Red Hat Bugzilla is probably the most popular Bugzilla variant
on the planet. One of the major benefits of Red Hat Bugzilla is
the ability to work with Oracle, MySQL, and PostGreSQL databases
serving as the back-end, instead of just MySQL. Dave Lawrence
has worked very hard to keep Red Hat Bugzilla up-to-date, and
many people prefer the snappier-looking page layout of Red Hat
Bugzilla to the default Mozilla-standard formatting.

<title>Red Hat Bugzilla</title>
<para>
Red Hat Bugzilla is probably the most popular Bugzilla variant
on the planet. One of the major benefits of Red Hat Bugzilla is
the ability to work with Oracle, MySQL, and PostGreSQL databases
serving as the back-end, instead of just MySQL. Dave Lawrence
has worked very hard to keep Red Hat Bugzilla up-to-date, and
many people prefer the snappier-looking page layout of Red Hat
Bugzilla to the default Mozilla-standard formatting.
