Oh, yes, asterisk is in universe, but i prefer apt-get  build-dep asterisk

And then compile from current source, not the package in universe

Mind you, asterisk is in the ubuntu universe (rather than main) archive.
As such, it also has some other dependencies in universe. Specifically
(looking at the current Hardy) package:

  libc-client2007-dev
  libiksemel-dev
  libopenh323-dev
  libpri-dev
  libradiusclient-ng-dev
  libtonezone-dev
  libvpb-dev
  zaptel-source

As a rule, the universe packages there get much less attention, and
don't necessarily get regular security updates.

2008-02-03 Thread Alan WN Hanley

Hash: SHA1

Hi All,
Just to throw in my 2 cents worth, I have been evaluating most of the
'big' distro's for my Asterisk platform and since I've used almost all
of them I kept the pre-requisites to these standard options.

1. Package management - easy to administer, easy to upgrade and include
development packages
2. System stability - Gotta be rock solid
3. Proprietary Code - It must be all open source
4. Standards Compliant

With a lot of testing, compiling and downloading I came to the
conclusion that the winner was Debian 'Etch'

Reason:

1. Apt - The best package management system ever.
2. Rock solid platform, my other Debian servers have been running for
years (and so have my CentOS servers so I'm not being biased)
3. The software is all open source.
4. I have a requirement for H323 in the vast majority of my asterisk
boxes and it compiles brilliantly with Etch
5. 1 CD install - The Net-Install CD makes things neat
6. Slow release cycle  and easy upgrade to latest version once released.

CentOS came a very close second however it was the apt difference that
clinched it for Debian. I would have went Ubuntu instead of Debian
however the packages are not quite as concise and I'm still not sure on
the whole 'sudo' method of security, its great for a desktop but the
jury is still out on a server.

Regards,
Alan

I started out running Fedora, but I have migrated away from it for a few 
reasons.  Fedora has a very short life cycle and since the demise of the 
legacy project there is no support for releases that are over a year 
old.  It is also considered a bleeding-edge distribution and is a 
testing ground for new applications and features.  As such, it has 
frequent updates (including the kernel) that aren't guaranteed not to 
break your system.

If stability and long-term support are your goals, I recommend taking a 
look at CentOS http://www.centos.org/.  It is a binary-compatible 
clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that's free and has a very long 
support period.  It's basically RHEL without the paid support contract.  
My migration to CentOS was painless, because the file system and 
configuration are practically identical to those of Fedora.

If I was doing the system myself I would throw in my vote for CentOS.
I am using it for a database server and I have had no problems with it
at all. It is about as stable and secure of Linux distro as I have

If you do go with them I suggest kicking the CentOS team a few
dollars. They do dang good work.

My suggestion - use the distro which you know best.

We use Debian (200+ installations). It works stable for us because we know how 
to achieve it.

Others use Fedora/Centos - because they are experts in these systems.

Stability and performance of the system does not depend on the distro - only on 
person who built this system.

But all that cruft is not always appropriate -- parts left out don't get 
broke. They also don't need to be updated, suck up memory, cpu, disk or 
get in the way of learning how Asterisk really works.

I like to start with a minimal CentOS install -- de-select everything and 
then yum install just the packages you actually need.

I'm sorry, but Trixbox (CE) and its like are modified versions of
CentOS, and those modifications are not always so standard:

1. Many changes in /usr/local and such rather than in packages. 
2. Kernel never gets updated. Even latest trixbox 2.2 versions are
   shipped with kernel from CentOS 4.3. CentOS has issued many updates
   since. Try to build your own kernel stuff on it.
3. It uses FreePBX, and this has its pros and cons. It is surely a
   comlpicated system to start with. If you happen not to like it,
   you're heading for much work in removing it.

So it's not simply CentOS.

Re: [asterisk-users] Enterprise or Fedora?

 I cannot think of a single reason to use Fedora for a production anything
 when there are alternatives like CentOS.  Fedora is bleeding edge stuff and
 constantly changing.

The advantage of Fedora is that it is very actively maintained -- and
asterisk is only a yum install asterisk away!
