Re: [asterisk-users] Professional Setup..

[Dave Walker]

I was not endorsing a particular product or asking for recommendations about specific products.  I personally tried Trixbox and was not really satisfied with the results.  The last time I was asked about an appliance I referred the person to Switchvox.

There were a few other responses that seemed to answer my question.   The vote tally so far (both on and off this list) seems to lean towards CentOS, download/compile of source then yum for the rest.  For properly configured/secured small systems behind a firewall then FreePBX or AsteriskNow is fine.

Nobody has commented on my question regarding monetary contributions for FreePBX, AsteriskNow or any other project that helps encourage support for Asterisk.   I have contributed to the CentOS project.  Their recommended contributions are $25 per installation, per year which is fine. 

Hmm words professional and trixbox don’t go together..

 

I have a question for those who have done a few professional installs of Asterisk.   Is it taboo to use something like AsteriskNow/FreePBX/Trixbox to get a base installation of Asterisk installed and functional for a small office?  If not then do you always compile from scratch or use CentOS and the yum repositories?   I setup FreePBX for a friend of mine who runs a small call center and I feel guilty profiting from something that so many other people have worked so hard to create.
