Howdy, I have tried all of these and a few more. PBXinaFlash gave me the best results, by far. AsteriskNow produced a basic working system. I could not get any of the others configured to work at all. I should tell you my restrictions. I was evaluating these distros to see which one I could use to teach at a local computer group. I wanted to do very little configuration through the command line, since my goal was not just to get a working system, but to have something I could easily show others how to setup. And, I was using real phone hardware. My phone and line were driven from a Digium TDM400. The AsteriskNow system only worked because someone on IRC helped me find a couple of obscure setting, but it does work.
So, it somewhat depends on your needs, but I'd go with PBXinaFlash. And, I added the IncrediblePBX package. It is not perfect. I am now trying to add IAX trunks, and the mysteries involved make that slower than I would like. Good luck -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
