If you want to use Ubuntu or Debian rather than Centos then Asterisk is in the Debian and Ubuntu Server Repositories. # sudo apt-get install asterisk # sudo m-a -f get zaptel-source # sudo ECHO_CAN_NAME=OSLEC m-a -t a-i zaptel (The last command might not be needed any more as I believe OSLEC is now the default EC) Should do most of it. I written a few blog articles on Asterisk (building from scratch and installing on Ubuntu etc. Including Zaptel and OSLEC for the x100p) Here's one for getting it running on Ubuntu server: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2009/02/12/asterisk-zaptel-oslec-and-ubuntu-server/ And here's all of them: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/tag/asterisk/ There are, of course, many more guides and advice out there too.

Re: [asterisk-users] Building a System.
This is the most useful script anyone has published on this list for a long time. Thanks David, * stars on this.. I can finally have our clients move from trixbox to an asterisk vanilla system in no time now. Ps.. here are a few suggestions.. àMove ntpdate ntp.bri.connect.com.au out of the shell and into a var of aster-vars àMaybe print out locations of interesting files after install àBring iptables back up.. with sip rules included But its a 5/5 for me, will try it in virtualization also.

But what happens after you install it? How do you follow up with newer versions? E.g. many people still have an ancient version of mpg123 installed. With many known security holes. This is because at the time it was the black magic working and recommended version for getting music-on-hold to work. mpg123 has moved on.

Re: [asterisk-users] Building a System.
You don't need freepbx. In all honestly, building a system from scratch isn't too bad if you having some decent (or indecent?) linux karma. If you don't, it's going to be a rather unfun time.
