IMHO, If you don't know enough about Linux/Asterisk/FreePBX to be able to set it up yourself you should not be doing it for a Production install in a business environment.
NOTE: Production install in a business environment does NOT include setting it up in your house with extensions for the kids and wife! That is what Trixbox is for. -----Original Message----- From: Edward Halman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 12:05 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Re: Trixbox vs. Custom install Hi Stefano, I am a proponent of the "step-by-step" installation on a complete linux distribution. Like someone said in another posting, the GUIs are nice, but isolate you from the .conf files to the point where customization can be a bit tricky. However, Trixbox w/ FreePBX and A2Billing works out of the box with very little patching or configuration needed. If A2Billing is all he/she anticipates needing to do, FreePBX is a mature and stable and he/she will probably be happy with it. FreePBX is a bit of a chore to install and configure without Trixbox, if you don't have a solid understanding of dependencies, linux security, apache and MySQL. Same with A2Billing.
