I think I started using astlinux somewhere around the 0.28 or so builds..  it 
was real close to the beginning..  I had played with asterisk since about 02 or 
03 around there..  my first astlinux was on a Net4801 board also..  that board 
later became a MikroTik Router in my office until its flash-card bit the dust, 
defaulted the router and the LAN port Proxy-ARPed every device...  

I used astlimux extensively through about 2010 then forked off into a "beat-up" 
minimal centos distro on NET5501, later APU, and full servers and VMs.. so I 
could use some packages i couldnt get to compile at the time on astlinux..  I 
still love it and like to mess around with it.. astlinux is a joy to use now 
for sure.. though I wont switch my business back to it just because of the 
curve to do so.. 

totally wierd how this comes up and a failed flash card in a production NET5501 
is the project of the holiday weekend..  a site went down..  that box is about 
7 years old...  

congrats to the designers and maintainers of astlinux as it really is the best 
go-to small platform asterisk specific distro..

 Happy Birthday to AstLinux, which is 15 years old this month!
AstLinux History:https://www.astlinux-project.org/about.html
Personally I started using AstLinux 0.2.x about 6 months later, Darrick Hartman 
jumped in around the same time.

My first AstLinux hardware was a Soekris net4801 (233 Mhz i586, 128 MB RAM) 
using a SIP/IAX VoIP provider.
I still have my net4801, so for giggles I tried the latest development 
(pre-1.3.7) AstLinux (geni586-serial) ... It still works!  Albeit slow at times 
:-)

Thanks the the "Wayback Machine" (COX website) this was my 'High Speed 
Internet' in September 2004 ...

:-)
