Easiest way to install an asterisk system
What is the easiest way to install an Asterisk system? Assume I have an X86 computer with a blank hard drive, a DVD reader and sufficent Internet access to download whatever is needed. The computer will not be used for anything else, and probably run headless, so a GUI, Office Suite, etc is not needed or wanted. Is there a cheap source of FXO (not modem) PCI cards in Israel? If I use OpenPBX.org, does this change things? Thanks in advance, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Do you want this system to run physical phones or as a registration server for sip devices? The former is more difficult than the latter. You need hardware! As for the latter, I'd recommend Debian and apt-get. Is there a cheap source of FXO (not modem) PCI cards in Israel?

Re: Easiest way to install an asterisk system
You can have ubuntu running asterisk in less than an hour. I bought a generic-brand compatible modem for $15 on ebay. Installed it and drivers. This gave me one physical line, and as many SIP devices as the computer could handle. On Dec 24, 2007 4:56 AM, sammy ominsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 24/12/2007, at 10:06, Geoffrey S.

Geoffrey S. Mendelson wrote: What is the easiest way to install an Asterisk system? There are specific Asterisk Linux distros which you can download and install. There seem to be a number of choices. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Install+CDROM The most popular of these seems to be trixbox (http://www.trixbox.org). If you choose to go this route, you may want to read the following thread about their colection of usage statistics (though it may be out of date now). http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion/trixbox-phones-home Assume I have an X86 computer with a blank hard drive, a DVD reader and sufficent Internet access to download whatever is needed. The computer will not be used for anything else, and probably run headless, so a GUI, Office Suite, etc is not needed or wanted. As far as I can tell from a quick glance, most if not all the options available use a web interface rather than an X11 GUI. If I use OpenPBX.org, does this change things? OpenPBX.org is now called Callweaver (http://www.callweaver.org). A quick google failed to turn up any callweaver install CDs, but this is not particularly surprising at this stage. Using Callweaver may widen your choice of hardware, but I don't know much about this. Whichever you decide to go with, these programs are complex and if you want to do anything the slightest bit complex with them, configuring them will take a bit of time. Note that I've never used an Asterisk install CD and have only just installed Callweaver, so I can't speak from experience.

running 64 bit linux on the desktop
Hi, I recently started working at a new firm that is using CentOS 4.5 64 bit on the desktop. We were having trouble with some standard programs and we just realized that they are related to the 64 vs. 32 bit issues. For example the flash plugin to firefox installed fine, but would not work. The best workaround I have found is to install the 32 bit firefox instead and then all the plugins work fine. We are also having trouble running some other apps like open office. Running as a local user works fine, but running as a user from found in the LDAP dir causes a startup error about permissions. Is anyone out there having the same troubles? Any suggestions? Thanks, -tom

Hi, Astrisk.org.il is your friend . Geoffrey S. Mendelson wrote: What is the easiest way to install an Asterisk system? There was a CD that called astrisk now (or something ..) that include astrisk and a web interface to configure it.

I think that sangoma (delivered by Tikal, tikalnetworks.com) is cheaper then digium, and its work fine. If I use OpenPBX.org, does this change things? Thanks in advance, Geoff. Doron

Thanks, -tom Same like with firefox. Compile openoffice from source (http://go-oo.org), or use a 32bit openoffice package. I have used openoffice-bin in the past and am now using a the go-oo.org version. Both work fine, with slight preference to the latter. --yuval signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[YBA] NIS vs LDAP
Hi Linux-IL members,
I am considering setting up a heterogenous work environment with about
100 high-end Linux work stations, 40 MS Windows, and 10 Mac's. The
underlying common authentication system will likely be LDAP. Would NIS or
Active Directories be more appropriate for this type of environment?
TIA,
- yba
