With 32 bit Tao it runs almost out of the box and works like a charm. You get the (community) support, the updates, just not the RHEL bill :)
Fedora is way too experimental for any system you would want to be stable IMHO. Choosing any free RedHat EL rebuild is a safe, conservative and widely supported choice and easy to install (lots of docs)
Cheers!

Hi, again.
I've spent a week trying to get asterisk to work on FreeBSD unix, with some success. Everything works until I plug the box into the TELCO line and then the line goes off-hook and stays that way.
So I bit the bullet and decided to install the application on a fresh linux install. Not to start an OS war, here, but linux is ... difficult ... for an old unix hand to get his mind around. It's a completely different landscape! And why is it that /etc/modules.conf in one release is /etc/modprobe.conf in another? Is this beast not based on standards?
But I digress.
I chose FC3 (Fedora Core) for the install, and now I'm sorry that I did.
At least with unix I was able to get a dial tone! Not so much with this flavor of linux. Each time I run "modprobe wcfxs" I get the following errors in /var/log/messages:

I'm not so interested in notifying these guys at lists.sourceforge.net, since I'm only interested in running asterisk. Once I commit to actually using linux I might participate in their forum, but not yet :)
So ... the question: What flavor of linux does asterisk actually run on "Out the box?"
I'm not scared to compile asterisk, but I'm not at all interested in recompiling a linux kernel.
Of course if that is the only way, then I guess I'll just bite another bullet. Hell! I want this PBX to work so bad that I can almost taste it!
Please advise.
