asterisk users - Jul 2012 - Can I install Asterisk normally and then installing the GUI "asterisk now"

Hello;

Is it possible if I have already asterisk installed on Fedora machine to install
the GUI "asterisk now" without doing a fresh installation using the
Asterisk Now CD?

Which version of the GUI that should be selected to work with the asterisk
version? For example, if I have asterisk 1.8 then which GUI version to select?
"I am talking about compatibility".

Can I say that Freepbx is Asterisk + Asterisk Now? 

Regards
Bilal

You could, but it would be wrong. :)

AsteriskNow is Asterisk+FreePBX in a nutshell. Of course there is better package
management (RPM repos from Digium vs source installs or building your own
packages), etc.
