Hi I want to play a bit with Asterisk. I currentlly install a new system for that and I would like to get your recommendations regarding the linux distro to use there.
This is NOT intended to become a general distro flame war. My favorite distro is ******** and no argument that you flame will convince me here (probably because I've heard it before). However I would like to minimize the OS maintinance task. I really wouldn't like to start worrying about upgrading sshd due to some stupid secuirty hole, and to worry what will it break on my system. I expect my distro to do that for me. I'd also like to have solid astrisk packages that won't break unnecessarily when the sshd package is updated next time. Hopefully also some sort of integration of zaptel in the distro's kernel package. I saw numerous complaints about "unofficial" RPM packages of asterisk. Besides them, the following free distros include asterisk packages: 1. Debian: http://packages.debian.org/asterisk . 2. Gentoo: Current package seems to be version 0.9.0 from 10-May-2004 3. The DAG repository for RH/Fedora: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/asterisk/ I have some experince with Debian, Mandrake and RedHat/Fedora. I'm unfamiliar with Gentoo and I have no good/bad experince with DAG packages with respect to quality and stability. Any recommendations, relevant experince and other learned opinions? thx -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
