You're running from an upgraded Slink? That's the beauty of Debian. You may need to use Sid if you are using a laptop (I've got a well-maintained cheat sheet I'll share if you want it.) I'd try Sarge first. I run Sid on my notebook. > > > > I used CentOS 3.4 on two recent Asterisk installs with no problems. > > Isn't CentOS the free alternative for RHEL ?

I built two Asterisk boxes recently. I started with Debian and got the first working. The second install on an identical machine ran into problems. I probably didn't execute a step properly. I got tired of all that horsing around and decided that it was more important to have an Asterisk box running quickly than to have a well-maintained Linux box. I loaded CentOS 3.4 on both boxes and it just worked. I haven't learned the yum maintenance tool yet. I've been told that apt can be made to work with CentOS. CentOS 3.4 has a older version of Flex. The Asterisk compile suggests that you upgrade to a newer version. I went to the sourceforge Flex site and downloaded the most recent bz2 and followed the instructions for conf/make/install. Asterisk was very happy after that. Several days after building the two Asterisk boxes, Debian releases the looooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg awaited 3.1 Sarge. I would have tried it over CentOS if it were available when I needed it. I'm going to give Debian Sarge a try in the near future. If they have a reasonably modern installer then I'll jump back into the Debian camp for my Asterisk work. -- Mike _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
