Oh boy, time for distro wars :) I have found that for some reason Asterisk seems to run better on Slackware than Redhat, that's just my personal non-scientific observations, but we have 4 Asterisk servers in production(two redhat 9, one slackware 9.1 and one slackware 10.0) with almost identical hardware and the Slackware boxes have a lower average load over the same Asterisk usage. I have also talked with several people who are very happy with Mandrake, Gentoo and Debian. Those are the distros that most of the Asterisk crowd seem to use. There is also an Asterisk-centric distro but I haven't heard much about it lately.
And as always check out the Wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+linux+distributions MATT--- -----Original Message----- From: Eric Kirkland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk Hi folks; Can anyone recommend the best Linux OS (versions, etc) to run Asterisk? I'd like to be able to run the Text To Speech apps and some of the extended functions of the software (no phone hardware needed, all Voice over IP stuff)... I'm currently running Asterisk on Mandrake Linux (vesion 10 I think?) but I'm having difficulty compiling the TTS stuff. I'm just wondering if there's a widely used version that pretty much works with everything...? Andy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
