Project Management and Issue tracking tools: Redmine vs Trac

After searching the web for a few minutes, I hit upon this article at stackoverflow; Trac vs. Redmine vs. JIRA vs. FogBugz for one-man shop? Check through the article, you might find it useful. If you are looking for online svn hosting, this website might be useful to you. http://www.svnhostingcomparison.com . It provides you with multiple options available in the market.
