"Unlike other Linux distributions used to deploy Asterisk, no unnecessary components that might compromise security or performance are included."
Hehe, what a bunch of mud slingers. For the curious, the appliance is nothing particularly special. What is more interesting is that it was built using rPath's free rBuilder (http://www.rpath.com/rbuilder/) service, which lets you create your own linux distribution ez-bake style. I fiddled with it (rBuilder) this morning, and it seems good for someone who doens't want to invest a lot of time putting together and maintaining a distro that is reasonably lean, customized, and branded appropriately.
