I run an asterisk server on Fedora 26. It's easy to install asterisk from packages, so you don't have to go through the hassle of building it. Just "dnf install asterisk". The only problem is that Fedora does not package some of the hardware drivers (e.g. dahdi) because they are not free software. I did have to build the dahdi kernel module, but of course that depends on what hardware you've got. If you are only using network (e.g. SIP or IAX), you should be able to run completely from packages. > > Is the latest Fedora a good choice for an Asterisk box or should > I try something else. How critical is your need for that particular version of asterisk? The current packaged version for Fedora is 13.9.1 The usual warning about Fedora is that each version is only supported for about 13 months. After that you have to upgrade or run without support (dangerous, because that also means no security fixes). The machine is an Intel Atom board with a > Digium PCI analog board for my one last analog line. > That may or may not require compliation of the driver. I have a "Digium PCI analog board" that uses the dahdi driver, and I did have to compile that (see previous thread on this list regarding that). > > I believe the board is limited to a 32 bit OS. > Mine isn't.

My asterisk box is also a Samba server, again running from packages. --Greg
