Re: [asterisk-users] Is Asterisk a Linux only system?
Why not just bite the bullet and move to a supported Linux? - you can be assured that it works - updates are tested - help and support is readily available. - only takes a few minutes to install the whole setup - configuration should port easily. There is almost no Linux administration required once it is set up so getting deep into the actual OS is not required. I have used CentOS (5.x and 6.x) for years without any problems. I have not tried it with CentOS 7 and would recommend sticking with the latest CentOS 6 for a while yet. I am converting the rest of my datacenter to 7 starting with the main firewall/router and a virtual host. Firewall is now in production but it was a bit of a learning curve for me. There are big differences between 6 and 7 and I would let some other Asterisk users switch before going to 7. Free advice and worth every cent! Ron On 12/02/2015 9:25 AM, D'Arcy J.M.

[asterisk-users] Is Asterisk a Linux only system?
Asterisk needs to operate with high operating system reliability as needed and usual in the Telecom domain. Windows system don't offer such reliability, so that's why they are not used in any field where high reliability, security and data safety are required (like military, Government, industries, power production and distribution etc. etc.). If you check the top computing systems in the world, there - 99.6 are running Unix/Linux systems, - - 97% are running Linux, - - 2.6% are running Unix and only - 0.2% are running Windows. Also using Windows' Internet Explorer is falling down for years, being surpassed by Google Chrome and FireFox.. It may be also due to the fact that many believes that scrappy character of Windows is a marketing trick pushing billions of users to buy again and again what they have already bought (by means of huge misleading advertising buy the new version, it's finally Super Excellent, people buy but the known crashes, security vulnerabilities, data lost and other well known problems last - what repeats for 20 years)... You may remember also a big scandal with the letter by HQ to branches which called under any cost don't allow that Linux gets in Government sector, offering the huge million fund for support of sales.. Etc. etc. JH :-) -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I don’t even bother trying to run it on Ubuntu; I have a CentOS VM specifically for running the test suite to avoid platform problems. It runs just fine on Debian based systems. Most issues you will run into are just making sure the dependencies are set up correctly. It does require Python 2.6+ (recommended: Python 2.7 just in case something has slipped in that we missed.) I was sure it would. But the instructions are for CentOS/EL, and I used up all of my sense of adventure just getting Asterisk running on OS X. -- David M.
