Someone on the forums is giving away an image that boots into Asterisk - that then connects to their own ITSP server with a small number of free calls - presumably inviting you to pay him money to make more calls ;-) Have to say it's the last thing on my mind to do with my Pi - well, maybe for fun, but not as a comercial on-going system for a company. It's too small (in physiucal size!) and needs a nice box, etc. However it's more than capable although I'd be wary of the speed of the SD card to store voicemail on - it's fast enough, but things like fsync do appear to take a (relatively) long time, making some stuff feel a little clunky on it.

Re: [asterisk-users] looking for solid state like PC suitable for Asterisk
Tim, looked at these briefly, they all seemed pre-installed, correct? Is reinstallation with, let's say, CentOS possible? thx, BC On 05/10/12 14:39, Tim Nelson wrote: Bart Coninckx wrote: Hi all, for smaller (or maybe even bigger) sites I'm looking for a smaller, appliance-type like PC, preferably solid state and fanless PC.

- Original Message - Tim, looked at these briefly, they all seemed pre-installed, correct? Is reinstallation with, let's say, CentOS possible? thx, BC The units *can* come preinstalled with our PBX flavor (Debian, Asterisk, FreePBX), or they can be sent bare and you can install your OS/platform of choice. CentOS specifically does not run on the board as the upstream vendor does not support i586 arch any longer (since Centos 5.x series IIRC). We've done some work trying to patch the installer and use custom kernels to get around this, but were unsuccessful. --Tim -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Raspberry Pi would be the obvious choice, surely? The hype around the Raspberry Pi is enormous. I would not consider it a real option for production voice until it's had a chance to mature and be available for some time to iron out the bugs, both hardware and software related. My $0.02 USD. Another couple of cents: the pi comes only with arm-cpu and limited amount mem - no upgrade possible. Might be an issue for asterisk... have a look at: http://www.fit-pc.info/ As long as you don't need to plug in a pci-board it is nice small and uses hardly any amps. hw -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
