 I have run Asterisk on several Fedora versions, Debian, Unslung (on the 
 NSLU2 or Slug) and recently Ubuntu. My most critical servers are on 
 Debian and new ones will be on Ubuntu LTS.

 I have had very few OS specific issues. I have always built from source 
 except on the Slug but I noticed that Ubuntu has it in the apt 
 repository which would be a great convenience if you are new to Linux or 
 manage a lot of servers.
 

 Now that you mention it, are packages of that distribution really
 maintained?

 The recent volnurability of AST-2008-006 is a good test case for that.
 If affects both 1.2 and 1.4 .

 The annoncement by Digium:

   http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asa/AST-2008-006.html

 As with the previous ones, the text is quite clear about the fix.
 backporting that patch to a slightly older version is not that tricky
 (and it is something that a distribution package maintainer is used to
 doing anyway).

 So what about updates?

   

The optware feed for Unslung (on the NSLU2) is up-to-date on Asterisk 
1.4 with 1.4.19.1 but a rev or two behind on 1.2 with 1.2.24

 The LWN page for this advisory only lists Fedora and Debian:

   http://lwn.net/Articles/280318/

 Response ime in both was quite reasonable.

 LWN also tracks adsisories from various other distributions. You can see
 the list in http://lwn.net/Alerts/ . The following other distributions
 have 'asterisk' packages:

  * Gentoo
  * Mandriva (??? - probably only in contrib and is unsupported)
  * rPath (Not sure. See below about AstriskNOW)
  * SUSE
  * Ubuntu (the package is in 'universe', and not officially supported)

 The issue is listed as corrected in AsteriskNOW 1.0.3, but the latest
 version available for download is 1.0.2 .
 If I read rpath's repository page correctly, then the most recently
 released version of Asterisk is 1.4.17-2 , from Feb-2008 and thus does
 not contain this fix.

 To see the versions of packages i Ubuntu:

   http://packages.ubuntu.com/asterisk

 As you can see, both Hardy and the development distribution (Interpid)
 include the same version of the package. As you can see from following
 the changelog link:
 http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/asterisk/asterisk_1.4.17~dfsg-2ubuntu1/changelog

 The security issues of 1.4.18.1 were backported to that 1.4.17 package.
 But nothing about the recent advisory.


 The Gentoo port is basically where the Ubuntu package is: missing only
 the last one:

   http://packages.gentoo.org/package/asterisk


 The FreeBSD port has not been updated yet. It is still at 1.4.18, and no
 sign of backported fixes:

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/asterisk/


 OpenBSD port was updated pretty fast (by upgrading to asterisk 1.4.19.1)

   http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/telephony/asterisk/


 I don't know where to look for in other distributions.

Personally, I love the debian way, but I must admit that when it gets 
to Asterisk, I prefer to use a RedHat-based distro like CentOS, first of 
all for the proven reliability, then for the widely used rpm packaging 
system and last because there are many distro CentOS-based that provide 
a stable system with FreePBX and all the stuff :-P

Hi, I allways use Gentoo y my Asterisk servers and work well, but what do

Re: [asterisk-users] Best Linux distribution to use in Asterisk server

2008-05-10 Thread Matt Watson
I'm a Gentoo guy myself too... but the best advice I can give is just 
re-hashing what others have already set... pick whatever you are the most 
comfortable with... and if support contracts are important to you, then that 
will be a factor as well.  I've used most of bigger distros out there over the 
last 10 years, but right now Gentoo is where I am at.

It also might depend on if you intend on using Asterisk from the package system 
fo your distro or if you intend on compiling it yourself.  On my * box I 
compile Asterisk, Zaptel, LibPRI by hand, everything else I've installed from 
portgage (Gentoo's package system).

this often becomes a religious discussion.
my free advice worth all you paid for it - Redhat or one of the other 
distros that has been Certified on your choice of hardware and which has 
a Support Contract on  it. Despite what others will tell you... Its a 
lonely place when your box no-workie and you have no support contract.
if you buy Redhat on an HP box that is certified for it. It WILL work or 
they WILL get it working.
sure maybe someone somewhere on some mailing list has the answer. But

Interesting it never occurred to you that if it's not Redhat it wont
have that problem to begin with. You see, if it has a commercial
available support they got to make money, they therefore have to make
sure it goes down :P

Just don't blame this religious war on me. You started it :-)

I don't know what's prompting you to leave Gentoo but it's gotten much
better with respect to asterisk very recently.  That's all I use and I
have to say that after a very frustrating year they've come forward
leaps and bounds in the last few months.  They actually have 1.4, 1.6,
and versions of zaptel that work with modern kernels now finally!  If
you haven't already, look into the voip overlay.  They seem to work on
it in spurts of activity and although not much has changed in it for
several weeks it does contain a relatively recent 1.4 version that
works just fine for me on my tiny production environment.

I've used CentOS without any OS issues.

Doesn't the certified support thing die a quick death when you install

Crap like try it without the driver your application won't run without

I think it's all personal preference I'd never recommend anyone
use ubuntu for anything, honestly.

SLES is my #1 pick with CentOS / PNAELV being a close second...
problem with Cent is there's not central administration like there is
in SuSE (YaST2... it's so simple! gotta setup a network no ifconfig up
this route add that just point and click or use the ncurses
interface.. same for just about every service)... not even an
interactive package manager thats usable from the CLI. You might be
able to get by with openSuSE but remember the lifecycles are short,
like Fedora.

I have used Fedora 7  8 on both i386  x86_64.  I have used the RPMs from 
atrpms.net in the past and now I use the RPMs from Fedora.  I have never had 
any trouble with Asterisk, though Zaptel has been quirky now and then, but 
that was always a bug that was resolved upstream in the next version of 
Zaptel.

Re: [asterisk-users] Best Linux distribution to use in Asterisk server

2008-05-09 Thread Alex Balashov
I always do Debian, but, as others have pointed out, six one, half-dozen 
the other.  I always build from source and typically rebuild the kernel 
as well in a lot of cases (i.e. to make ztdummy work well requires a 
1000 Hz timing resolution), so it's not really an issue either way. 
Linux is Linux is Linux.

  Thanks
 
 I have run Asterisk on several Fedora versions, Debian, Unslung (on the 
 NSLU2 or Slug) and recently Ubuntu. My most critical servers are on 
 Debian and new ones will be on Ubuntu LTS.
 
 I have had very few OS specific issues. I have always built from source 
 except on the Slug but I noticed that Ubuntu has it in the apt 
 repository which would be a great convenience if you are new to Linux or 
 manage a lot of servers.

Now that you mention it, are packages of that distribution really
maintained?

The recent volnurability of AST-2008-006 is a good test case for that.
If affects both 1.2 and 1.4 .

The annoncement by Digium:

  http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asa/AST-2008-006.html

As with the previous ones, the text is quite clear about the fix.
backporting that patch to a slightly older version is not that tricky
(and it is something that a distribution package maintainer is used to
doing anyway).

So what about updates?

The LWN page for this advisory only lists Fedora and Debian:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/280318/

Response ime in both was quite reasonable.

LWN also tracks adsisories from various other distributions. You can see
the list in http://lwn.net/Alerts/ . The following other distributions
have 'asterisk' packages:

 * Gentoo
 * Mandriva (??? - probably only in contrib and is unsupported)
 * rPath (Not sure. See below about AstriskNOW)
 * SUSE
 * Ubuntu (the package is in 'universe', and not officially supported)

The issue is listed as corrected in AsteriskNOW 1.0.3, but the latest
version available for download is 1.0.2 .
If I read rpath's repository page correctly, then the most recently
released version of Asterisk is 1.4.17-2 , from Feb-2008 and thus does
not contain this fix.

To see the versions of packages i Ubuntu:

  http://packages.ubuntu.com/asterisk

As you can see, both Hardy and the development distribution (Interpid)
include the same version of the package. As you can see from following
the changelog link:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/asterisk/asterisk_1.4.17~dfsg-2ubuntu1/changelog

The security issues of 1.4.18.1 were backported to that 1.4.17 package.
But nothing about the recent advisory.


The Gentoo port is basically where the Ubuntu package is: missing only
the last one:

  http://packages.gentoo.org/package/asterisk


The FreeBSD port has not been updated yet. It is still at 1.4.18, and no
sign of backported fixes:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/asterisk/


OpenBSD port was updated pretty fast (by upgrading to asterisk 1.4.19.1)

  http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/telephony/asterisk/


I don't know where to look for in other distributions.

Not with fairly recent kernels wit high-resolution timers.
I suspect a recent kernel from backports.org will work just as well.

Jose,

Mozilla 1.5 on Gentoo Linux 1.4 has trouble displaying the Asterisk 
pages of the Wiki.  (The irony!)  The text is pushed off the right 
margin of the page.  
The problem is not related to Mozilla 1.5 on Gentoo Linux 1.4, but has 
to do with Mozilla 1.5 on _any_ system. It is a known bug, which keeps 
me from using 1.5 on most of my systems. I have not checked 1.6ß, but 
maybe it is fixed in there. BTW:Firebird 0.7 has the same problem.

 Sometimes clicking back and then forward fixes the problem, but
 not always.
Most of the time Shift-Reload helps.

You better dusck down cos here comes the war about who's distro is 
better.. :)

Use the one you are most comforatable with is the easiest and most 
logical answer.. IMO thats all that matters since all Linux distros 
essentially use the same software packages to make up the distro..

What may be cool is to have a Asterisk-Linux specifically constructed 
and optimised for Asterisk.. and maybe even small enough to run on a CF 
disk.. and not based on any current distro so there are no fights.. :)

as far as I know, asterisk is developed under RedHat,
but really, I run it with RH, debian, slack.
Many with suse and so on... so is up to you.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux Distribution

2004-01-13 Thread Chris Albertson

I have to agree with the below but only if it is an answer
to the limited question of Which is best to use for my
Astrisk server.  For a server you are using such a small
percentage of the Linux distribution that they are effectivly
all the same. 

A server will not make us of any of the graphical interface or
Desk top software.  Most * servers run with no keyboard or
CRT plugged in.

BUT, If you are running an Asterisk server you will likley
also have a Linux box for development, testing and general
e-mail and web serfing.  For this purpose it does matter, a
little.  They all will do the job but differ in terms of the
details of exactly what software is included and how the menu
system on the desk top is set up.  Still none is better but
they are differntent enough that people can have strong
prefference.  

The differences between distributions are minor.  I doubt
an inexperianced user
could tell this Solaris 9 box I'm writing this on from a Linux
system.  Both run gnome and look the same on the surface.
But Linux and Solaris are far more different then any two Linuxes.

That said, pick a desktop system you like.  You can get a free
download of any of them or low priced CDs at cheapbytes.com
and try them out.  Then use the same distribution for your
server.
 
 They're all just Linux. There is no best. This question is asked so
 
 frequently it almost looks like a troll to me. :)

... And a few more cents - compile a kernel specific to your needs rather
than useing the stock kernel. Frankly, I do this with every distro, and
I tend to use the stock kernel.org kernel with whatever patches I need.
First, you get a kernel with less bloat (do you really need compiled-in
support for 600 different ethernet cards?) and you can maintain a config
that can easily migrate when new versions of the kernel come out.

The version of the kernel that comes with distros are great for
bootstrapping, but that's about it.

 Il personally use Mandrake 9.2 and it works perfectly.
 On Debian, we've never got the FritzCard USB2 ISDN card working, but 
 nothing to do directly with Asterisk.
 
 The only performance issue I've got was while running X (many comments 
 around this issue).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux Distribution

2004-01-13 Thread Pulu 'Anau
I have the same problem with Firebird .7 on Windows *AND* linux (Debian stable).

You just answered my big question (does this happen to anyone else), I'll submit
the url for the wiki to bugzilla.

Quoting Jose Quinteiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Mozilla 1.5 on Gentoo Linux 1.4 has trouble displaying the Asterisk 
 pages of the Wiki.  (The irony!)  The text is pushed off the right 
 margin of the page.  Sometimes clicking back and then forward fixes 
 the problem, but not always.
 
 Gentoo is a great distro for Asterisk, IMHO, but it's not for the faint 
 of heart.

  They're all just Linux. There is no best. This question is asked so 
  frequently it almost looks like a troll to me. :)
  
  I've therefore updated the FAQ on the wiki:
   - http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+FAQ
  
  Which Linux distribution should I choose for Asterisk?
  --
  There is no best distribution. There are no fundamental differences in 
  functionality or behaviour between Linux distributions like there are 
  between versions of Windows. Pick whichever one you feel most 
  comfortable with.
  
  
  M'kay?

 I was toying with the idea of making an Knapterisk distribution based

 get involved in another project.

Does anyone try it?
