[Asterisk-Users] Kernel 2.4 or 2.6 for the latest asterisk ??
Hi there Just a quick question. I have been playing around with asterisk CVS-1.0.02 on fedora core 1 (2.4 kernel) and I would like to have a look at asterisk v 1.0.6 but am still a little uncertain which linux kernel is best to run on ?, can I use Fedora Core 3 (is it the preferred kernel) or should I stick with FC1 Ps - the only additional hardware in the box will be a digium single port E1 Any advice would be greatly appreciated Gary

So, use whichever you are most comfortable with, but I'd suggest not using an (apparently?) unsupported distro like FC1. ie, AFAIK, redhat do not release fixes/updates for FC1 anymore... Personally, I've dumped redhat in favour of debian, but I don't want to start a flame-war about the best distro. I just wanted to suggest that you use a distro where updates are/will be available for the life of your asterisk system.

As you have hardware, I would say that the kernel version would be dependant on which Distro you wanted to use and what kernel that comes with that or if you want to compile a kernel. I have several * servers all without zap devices running on Mandrake 10.1 which is a 2.6 kernel and I was happy with it. so thats my opion and personal choice.

We tried FC2 and FC3. There were a bunch of changes in FC3 that I don't really like all that much. I've always had great luck with FC2 so that is what we ultimately went with.

This question really has no one reply. The different Linux builds all have there reasons. If your used to Fedora Core 1 then that is what you should use. I use CentOS which is a clone of RHEL 3. They have just released there Version 4 which is based on RHEL 4. It works and since I am used to the way RH does there settings I like it. But it's really up to you. Fedora is good and works. I just don't use it do to it's mainly for RH to develop there newer system from it. But I know that many use without problem Debian, Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo and many more. There is even a group that is working with FreeBSD. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Brett, Gary Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 5:47 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Kernel 2.4 or 2.6 for the latest asterisk ??
