Need recommendation for Bug Tracking and Resource Scheduling software

I am looking to evaluate a two tools. I am looking for a resource scheduling tool, which we need to use to schedule time on different lab equipment, and a bug tracking tool, which is for internal use to track bugs (obviously). I was wondering if there is a tool that combines the two tools. Also, with regards to the bug tracking software, I am looking for a very simple tracking tool. I don't need a million fields and what not.

Edit: This tool needs to be internally hosted.

Edit 2: When giving a product, could you please give a short reason why you recommend it and which function it covers. Thanks!

FogBugz solves both issues (not free either but reasonable price)

And it will make Joel very happy :-)

I'm checking out the FogBugz trial and I don't see any resource scheduling related stuff

I wish fogbugz allowed a teams schedule to be mapped out, for resource management. But I think it would go against the nature of the product.

For the bug tracking part, we used Trac in the past and currently use FogBugz. Both tools are nice, however, we are considering switching back to Trac because of its nice Subversion integration and better wiki.

Bugzilla

My supervisor check out Bugzilla and has decided that he wants something a little more watered down. He thought there was way too much in it that would never get used.

Redmine

Redmine's interface is way better than the other tools mentioned here. It is very flexible and intuitive to use.

Check out Intervals. It can track bugs as tasks with severity and priority. And it can track time against those tasks/bugs and their parent projects. The reporting will give you a breakdown of where your time is going. I think you'll find it ideal for your situation.

If you are looking for an easy to use bug tracker, I would recommend YouTrack from JetBrains. The features you might like are:

Complete keyboard support
AJAX-based UI
Query-based issue search with suggestions
Multiple issues modification commands
Tags and saved searches as search shortcuts

Integration with TeamCity, LDAP, OpenID.
