I like Fedora Core 1 if for no other reason than I am used to redhat distributions. Also you can grab RPMS from ftp://ftp.linuxsys.com/pub/releases/FC1 for an easy installation. The only caveat I know of with these packages is that something has changed in Asterisk recently where it is not happy running as user "asterisk" which is what my packaging intends to do. Until I have time to figure this out, I recommend that you edit line 26 in /etc/init.d/asterisk and remove "--user asterisk" the line reads: daemon /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk This change will cause asterisk to run as root. I will get around to making this a option set /etc/sysconfig/asterisk eventually but for now you will have to edit the said file. Other than that, grab the kernel when you download and you wont have to recompile anything.
