Re: [asterisk-users] How do you like TrixBox?

[Chris Ramsey]

I agree with Mohamed. TrixBox is an excellent way to start, but in the long run, if you attempt to use Asterisk in a business setting, you will probably want to be able to hardcode the conf files yourself. I have only recently changed over to TrixBox from a standard installation on a debian system. Honestly, I really don't use FreePBX much at all. I use it to create new extentions for VMB's since I need to create a number of them every day for users on my website, but overall I code my own dialplan. I don't really understand FreePBX well enough, nor do I really want to put in the effort of learning it since I can already hand-code. TrixBox just has a couple of nifty features that I enjoy to make daily life a tad easier.

Dear All,

I am have experimented asterisk long before any gui was available and also currently working with trixbox, ofcourse working with asterisk directly makes you more aware but when you start deploying the system you will face management issues for asterisk, as anyone who deals with asterisk must be experienced enough with it and that will make the people who support the users a few, while with trixbox those few people can be left as escalation points and through GUI you can make other less aware of asterisk administer the day to day tasks.

Trixbox in my belief is making more people everyday depend on asterisk ofcourse knowing how to deal directly with asterisk will be a plus but yet this could come by time with trix box and everyday experience being gained will make them someday reach that level.

Trixbox is a great start point to implement asterisk but  learning asterisk configs must also be in schedule to maintain a persistent environment.

But,  can't it be one way of "learning"?  Can't one setup and modify
a Trixbox setup, then peruse the conf files, to get familiar with
(almost) all things Asterisk?

Spoke as one who was not very pleased with their own foray into Trixbox
and is still creeping up to speed on Asterisk.
