Hi Andy, I have had tremendous success running Asterisk on Slackware linux version 9.1. Its very quick to install and I had absolutely no problem compiling the source code for Asterisk or anything else so far. I have asterisk running on 2 servers right now that use Slackware. -James -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Eric Kirkland Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:14 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk Hi folks; Can anyone recommend the best Linux OS (versions, etc) to run Asterisk?

I'm currently running Asterisk on Mandrake Linux (vesion 10 I think?) but I'm having difficulty compiling the TTS stuff.

Oh boy, time for distro wars :) I have found that for some reason Asterisk seems to run better on Slackware than Redhat, that's just my personal non-scientific observations, but we have 4 Asterisk servers in production(two redhat 9, one slackware 9.1 and one slackware 10.0) with almost identical hardware and the Slackware boxes have a lower average load over the same Asterisk usage. I have also talked with several people who are very happy with Mandrake, Gentoo and Debian. Those are the distros that most of the Asterisk crowd seem to use. There is also an Asterisk-centric distro but I haven't heard much about it lately. And as always check out the Wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+linux+distributions MATT--- -----Original Message----- From: Eric Kirkland [mailto:yg@ads.aero] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:14 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Best Linux for Asterisk Hi folks; Can anyone recommend the best Linux OS (versions, etc) to run Asterisk?

Andy, I have limited Linux experience, but I have Asterisk installed on a Slackware 10 box. I had some assistance from our developer (he knows a lot more than I do with using Linux). It seemed to install quick and I don't recall having any problems.

(Because everything is good depending on skill level and or circumstances.) I personally have three asterisk boxes running on Gentoo 2004.1 with great success. Hope this helps, Robert Jackson
I'm not religous about any particular flavor of Linux, but I am highly partial to Debian, for multiple reasons. As far as running *, I think one can simply to an "apt-get install asterisk libpri zaptel" and be ready to go. No, it won't be the absolute latest code, but the Debian community is pretty good about keeping packages updated. Debian, to me, is the easiest Linux/unix that I've ever been around. -Mark
Hi Andy, Before Asterisk came into my life, I hadn't used Linux since RedHat 4.7. I did some research and decided to use one of the debian netinst images this go around, and I couldn't be happier. While it took me a day stumbling thru the packages and re-learning my way around, figuring out dependencies to get everything compiled and working etc... I've gotta say that the Asterisk + libpri + zaptel + tts stuff is rock solid, as is the system. I'm running Debian Woody with the 2.4 kernel. This system is also in a heavily used production environment within a software company.
