If you can't have your Asterisk crash (commercial/production environment) all you should have installed is Asterisk and what you need to build Asterisk and it's related tools. I know there are differing opinions on this, and I realize that yes, Asterisk does work when you install all sorts of things, but I feel the ideal, and correct thing to do with an Asterisk install is to dedicate the machine to it, run anything else you need on a seperate server.

Sort of. libc is the other thing that can affect performance. However, any distribution worth its salt will provide a selection of optimal kernel and libcs because of this. The effort of building a custom kernel and libc is probably worthwhile, but beyond that you should probably spend your efforts elsewhere other than recompiling stuff for the sake of it.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk
Oh boy, time for distro wars :) I have found that for some reason Asterisk seems to run better on Slackware than Redhat, that's just my personal non-scientific observations, but we have 4 Asterisk servers in production(two redhat 9, one slackware 9.1 and one slackware 10.0) with almost identical hardware and the Slackware boxes have a lower average load over the same Asterisk usage. I have also talked with several people who are very happy with Mandrake, Gentoo and Debian. Those are the distros that most of the Asterisk crowd seem to use. There is also an Asterisk-centric distro but I haven't heard much about it lately.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk
It may sound bad, but I use Fedora Core 1. However, I installed using reiserfs (my preferred filesystem) and I installed all the updates and had to custom compile a new kernel (as the stock one that comes with Fedora is too screwy, and the sources aren't done right and certain programs wouldn't compile). However, once I did the updates and used a custom compiled kernel, everything runs fast/smooth on it. I haven't had an issue compiling anything Asterisk related, yet. I did have issues with my Redhat 9 server, and my OpenNA 1.0 server. Of course, I have put a lot of security and performance tweaks into my Fedora installation, had to make it less redhat but now it runs good. You may not be willing to do all that work; but if you're familiar with redhat and how they do things and their directory structures and common commands, I think Fedora Core 1 is a good choice. Just a FYI. I think you'll find that as long as your favorite distro is decent, Asterisk will work. - Original Message - From: Peter Corlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: newsgate.asterisk-users To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:29 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk Eric Kirkland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks; Can anyone recommend the best Linux OS (versions, etc) to run Asterisk?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk
Hi Andy, Before Asterisk came into my life, I hadn't used Linux since RedHat 4.7. I did some research and decided to use one of the debian netinst images this go around, and I couldn't be happier. While it took me a day stumbling thru the packages and re-learning my way around, figuring out dependencies to get everything compiled and working etc... I've gotta say that the Asterisk + libpri + zaptel + tts stuff is rock solid, as is the system. I'm running Debian Woody with the 2.4 kernel. This system is also in a heavily used production environment within a software company.

However, this is what I did to get my system running on FC2: - Install FC2 *only* with [X] Development Tools, [X] Kernel Sources (not really needed as you compile against the build directory, but nice to have anyways), [X] Editors - Once installed, do a yum update - Reboot to make new kernel active - cd /usr/src/ - Verify that /usr/src/linux-26 is pointed to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ ^^^ This should get updated when installing the new kernel, but always good to verify it did update the link and isn't pointing to the old build directory - Checkout Asterisk and Zaptel from CVS - cd /usr/src/zaptel ; make clean ; make linux26 ; make install - cd /usr/src/asterisk ; make clean ; make install I didn't have to do anything fancy to get this to work. Perhaps I just got lucky, but I think a lot of the problems people find on FC2 is not keeping the system clean at first. After doing this, I did yum install's for httpd, mysql-server and dhcpd. I even compiled phpmyadmin for mysql-server interface. Everything is still running great after at least 2 weeks of use.

The only difference really introduced in a linux distro is how streamlined the install is, and a few of the admin tools.
