I have to use this pretty soon, and was wondering if there is an alternative to this. Preferably open source.

There are quite a few alternatives, you should check out the following links to try to find one that is best suited for you:

I have tried MS Project (professional/sharepoint), dotProject, Trac and eGroupWare, but my favorite is probably Trac(http://trac.edgewall.org/).
this is quite neat too.

Looks really nice. I like the gantt chart, but an online service is not enough for this situation. Sep 10, 2009 at 15:50

yea that is pretty cool. I may have to check that out for my own stuff... but like saint said, not good enough for internal corporate stuff in my opinion. cool for personal stuff though.– tcnolanSep 10, 2009 at 19:36
I'll toss in Redmine. It's very similiar to Trac but is more flexible, and supports multiple projects which with Trac is a hassle. I will also say customizing the Redmine back-end has been only slightly painless the authors do a very good job at organization and layout even on the backend.

RationalPlan is a good alternative to MS Project and there is also available a Server version for it: http://www.rationalplan.com/server-project-management-software.php
