I know you will receive many replies to your request. We have selected Thirdlane PBX Manager (www.thirdlane.com) to manage our Asterisk installations. The key for us was a management system that was modest in cost and allowed us to easily provide customizations when necessary, yet allow the system to be maintained by a non linux sysadmin or office manager.
The system is a Webmin module and allows the administrator to manage virtually all aspects of Asterisk without needing to go to linux CLI. This includes phone provisioning and a user web portal so individual users can manage their own voicemail and simple call routing (thus reducing sysadmin burden and increasing user acceptance). Feel free to contact me offline if I can be of any assistance.

I also am curious to hear feedback on either asterisknow and/or trixbox. I am looking to install a few boxes in locations that people need to be able to add extensions (queues, etc), but might not be avid linux users. I could write my own gui, but why bother. A nice easy installation and extension/queue/voicemail management system would be nice.
