Although I haven't tried it for Asterisk yet, I use Archlinux
(http://archlinux.org/) in my production environments. It's similar to
Gentoo. It as a minute disk footprint, most popular software packages
are available via it's *pacman* package manager, and you can get it in
2.4 or 2.6 kernel flavors. The Server I am building currently for
Asterisk will run the latest build of Archlinux. I'll report back any
major issues I may have with it...although I don't expect any. If it
runs on Gentoo or Debian, then it will [normally] run on Archlinux.
I gave up on commercial distro's like Red Hat, SuSe and Mandrake long ago.
Cheers,

I would disagree, in any type of server environment you should be able
to gain huge boosts from a properly tweaked kernel, I would suggest a
lean distro like console-only gentoo setup with a custom tweaked
kernel, and if compiling a kernel is hard just find some linux-geek
who can ssh to you and build it for you, ( i have built many kernels
like that )

When deciding on Linux you decide which kernel to use. Linux IS the

That's where distros vary. In a biz environment you won't probably won't
use a GUI. At home (less users) you may want it as a dual function
server/ end user pc. So for a most reliable system find the most
reliable kernel version. Also, the most reliable version of asterisk
would be a more appropriate queston. To sum, there is no magic asterisk
linux distro. All have the requisite components at their disposal ( well
don't use linspire since they run as root for that ease of use/ hack).

How has experience in Asterisk voip provider?
I am trying to setup a reliable Linux system with Asterisk for a voip
provider.
Therefore I got two more or like identical systems.
System 1
AMD Atlhon XP 2200
Asus A7V600-X bios 1002
1Gb memory 333 Mhz
Asus 7100 videocard
120GB harddisk
System 2
AMD Atlhon XP 2200
Asus A7V600-X bios 1005
1Gb memory 400Mhz
Geforce MX 4000 64MB
40 GB Harddisk
At both systems I have problems with installing Linux.
I tried Redhat 9.0 but there the systems has badblocks all the time on
the ext3 partitions and segmentation errors
After that I tried Suse 9.1 and there the system is working perfect
only when I compile Asterisk I get compile errors all the time with a
warning internal error. I tested the partitions and the memory there
is no problem.
Can somebody help me out how to get a stabile system?
Best regards,
Han van Hulst
