Debian is my fave, but for Asterisk I use CentOS. It's a free-of-cost clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so it's very stable and reliable, and Asterisk runs great on it. Debian is good too. They have Asterisk packages, but they're generally a little bit old. Source installations work fine. Both have large, active developer and user communities. Avoid Fedora- it's too much of a moving target, and Asterisk installations are always a nightmare. Ubuntu is the darling of the Linux world, but I've had problems with Asterisk on it too. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder Linux geek and random computer tamer check out my Linux Cookbook! http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxckbk/ best book for sysadmins and power users ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ --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
