I'd say it depends: if the Debian package has everything you want, cool, use it; if not, compile it. Or both, you can use checkinstall and similar to compile your own and still have a .deb, or just simply compile and shove the binary in a .deb. > I'm much more familiar with Debian then other distros, I prefer to base those > servers on Debian, There's no harm in trying other distros and OSes, quite the contrary. VMs are great for that. These are general though, not Asterisk-specific obviously. I don't use it, although i've thought of giving it a try just to get my hands dirty, but a simple 56K modem won't cut it (apparently you need a specific card) and now my ISP's voice is fiber/VoIP, so there's not much point anymore, My 2¢ Nuno -- Mars 2 Stay! http://xkcd.com/801/ /etc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
