You're right of course. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Despite a (probably deliberately) bad title, there is some good advice. Small business can be well served, in many cases, by looking to distros or commercial Asterisk derivatives like Trixbox, Fonality, William's FireBrick (did I get that one right?) etc. Downloading, compiling and configuring packages isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's not always going to be time/money well spent for companies to roll their own when the work has already been done. I've always tried to make it part of my development/acquisition process to ask the question: "Has this nut already been cracked by someone else, and does it make sense for me to do it again?"
