While it's not the way I do it personally, I've been told the absolutely easiest setup is [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is based on CentOS so security updates should be coming down at a decent pace and I imagine this could be set up to occur automatically. At that point, you pretty much have a fire-and-forget Asterisk install with most of the bells and whistles.
My personal choice is Slackware - combined with a 3rd party package managing tool called Swaret you can set up a very slim, simple and secure box in a very short amount of time and have do security patch deployments automatically, much like CentOS/Redhat/etc. I'm personally running Asterisk with FreePBX on an Apple PowerMac G3 266MHz using Slackintosh, with great results so far. Your system should be fine, though I'd probably dump some more RAM into it if I were you - especially if you want to run [EMAIL PROTECTED], which uses a MySQL database and the Apache webserver, among other things.

First off, I'm sorry for sending so many messages to the list-serv. Hopefully this will be my last for a while! I was going to use my WRT54G router as a small Asterisk box, but I forgot that I had a spare eMachines computer (Intel Celeron 633 MHz, 20GB HD, 64mb RAM). Will this machine work OK for a very simple dedicated home Asterisk box? Also, what is easiest linux distribution to use and install? All I want is a simple Asterisk box that I can telnet into and have voicemail, music-on-hold (MP3), etc... _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
