Sure you do! If you are using OSX, you are using a flavor of Unix (more BSD than Linux, but much of the core of the OS is similar), and Linux is similar. Instead of "Software Update" you use "yum" or "apt-get" on the command line or install a GUI Tool. Instead of more hidden complexities in OSX, you'll have to install libraries and other such things to get this working. > Can you recommend a Linux version, the hardware to run it on and if > so, is there a gui interface for the Linux version of Asterisk? Ubuntu Server Edition is pretty nice. GUI interface to Asterisk?
