Maybe, but just maybe, on CentOS you can have a problem running skypiax (the skype endpoint/trunk): after a couple days of inactivity the snd-dummy ALSA driver of CentOS (at least on 32 bit) seems to go into ininterruptable sleep, causing the Skype clients to go into that state (the state seen as "D" in top). But I'm not sure about this, maybe will not be confirmed, needs more investigation. The Jira I filed for this is: http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/MODSKYPIAX-27 I had very good overall experiences with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy, and CentOS 5.2. BTW: since roughly one month, when the sqlite assert was fixed, the build on Windows Vista seems rock solid to me. _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
