Other than the generalized tools, most drivers and such are specific to the company that released that version as well as the hardware.
This is quite incorrect. But here is not really the place to discuss such things. Suffice to say that the vast majority of hardware support is provided by the Linux kernel. You'll only use distribution specific drivers if RedHat or SuSE or whoever deem them necessary (support for 802.11g springs to mind).
What makes the distributions different is merely how they package their files (if at all) and how they update things, find patches automatically, what extra tools they have, what logo they've put on the start screen, etc. It's all academic. Provided you have recent enough versions of the libraries and compiler tools Asterisk needs installed, it will all work, no matter what distribution you're using. That's all that matters.
I have gotten Asterisk to work. It was a knowledge issue on my end. My main issue is getting a Netjet ISDN and voice modem installed correctly. Both of which I am having issues with the drivers at the OS level and have not attempted any use with Asterisk at this point. If someone has experience with a Netjet install under RH9 or Lucent/Agere linmodem, I would sincerely appreciate a bit of help.
