I am evaluating several bug tracking/project management software packages and have found a couple of interesting one that seem very robust and are quite popular.
Even better, I have found that two of these offer some sort of free version of their paid product, being the amount of users, the only limitation...
- OnTime 2008 by Axosoft.
Offers a single developer edition for free (details here and here).
- FogBugz by FogCreek software.
Offers a trial that (via workhappy.net) can be enabled to work fully functional for two users in student and startup edition (details)
Enjoy!
