Trixbox comes with a lot of stuff that you probably will not need. In my opinion it is better to do just install CentOS+Asterisk+zaptel+freepbx. This way you will have a cleaner system and in the process you will learn about installing from source code on linux.

I'd say Trixbox if you are to chose between Trixbox or AsteriskNow. Simply, because Trixbox is bundled with other packages and there are lots of scripts for it out there but AsteriskNow does not have that big pool of supporters yet. Personally, if AsteriskNow does some packaging and does good documentation and provides a better active forum then I would rather go with AsteriskNow because then you will be able to try the latest version of Asterisk. Trixbox people do not plan to deploy Asterisk 1.4 anytime soon and that's not good enough for me(Well, it's not only Trixbox thing; it's mostly a freepbx thing). But AsteriskNow GUI is not as good as FreePBX is now. > Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 10:15:27 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Im a newbie > > Trixbox is easy to install, but I would say more difficult to learn from > as the configuration files that make it all work are more complicated > than the ones that come with a clean asterisk install. > > I haven't looked at AsteriskNOW yet. > > If you'd like a really clean and simple pre-built asterisk system to > learn from, I'd recommend running AstLinux inside vmplayer and a > softphone. > > If you're also new to Linux and editing text files on a Unix system > though, Trixbox/AsteriskNOW would probably be a better starting point. > > Cheers, > spd > > On Tue, 22 May 2007, David LEWIS wrote: > > > Hello fine gentlemen > > > > Asterisk NOW or Trixbox? > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------ Explore the seven wonders of the world Learn more!<http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE>
