I think I started using astlinux somewhere around the 0.28 or so builds.. it
was real close to the beginning.. I had played with asterisk since about 02 or
03 around there.. my first astlinux was on a Net4801 board also.. that board
later became a MikroTik Router in my office until its flash-card bit the dust,
defaulted the router and the LAN port Proxy-ARPed every device...
I used astlimux extensively through about 2010 then forked off into a "beat-up"
minimal centos distro on NET5501, later APU, and full servers and VMs.. so I
could use some packages i couldnt get to compile at the time on astlinux.. I
still love it and like to mess around with it.. astlinux is a joy to use now
for sure.. though I wont switch my business back to it just because of the
curve to do so..
totally wierd how this comes up and a failed flash card in a production NET5501
is the project of the holiday weekend.. a site went down.. that box is about
7 years old...
congrats to the designers and maintainers of astlinux as it really is the best
go-to small platform asterisk specific distro..

AstLinux History:https://www.astlinux-project.org/about.html
Personally I started using AstLinux 0.2.x about 6 months later, Darrick Hartman
jumped in around the same time.
My first AstLinux hardware was a Soekris net4801 (233 Mhz i586, 128 MB RAM)
using a SIP/IAX VoIP provider.
I still have my net4801, so for giggles I tried the latest development
(pre-1.3.7) AstLinux (geni586-serial) ... It still works! Albeit slow at times
:-)
Thanks the the "Wayback Machine" (COX website) this was my 'High Speed
Internet' in September 2004 ...
:-)
