Thank you Cliff, for the support and encouragement :) Personally, I would go with a Debian based distro. I would recommend whatever distro you are comfortable with maintaining and updating. (For me, that is Debian)
The only downside to AsteriskNOW 1.0.2 right now, would be that there are no updates that are automatic, you have to get the updated code from SVN, for now. So if you are more comfortable with CentOS 5, then go for it. Make sure to get all the Asterisk dependencies, and install Asterisk 1.4 from source, and the GUI. (I can walk you through that part, if needed) Hope that helps, Sorry your post got lost amoung the others :) . -bk Cliff Sifton wrote: > Mr. Brandon Kruse > > First, thank you for the prompt replies to questions > on this list.
