asterisk users - Mar 2005 - OT: AstLinux 0.2.2 released

Hello Everyone,

	I have released AstLinux 0.2.2.  There are way too many improvements to 
list here, but here is a short summary:

	Linux 2.4.27, iptables, mini_httpd (with PHP & SSL), phpconfig,
AstShape traffic shaping, tftp server, OpenSSH, proftpd, Soekris Net4801 
and Pentium-MMX and higher x86 support.  There is actually WAY more 
software, but I couldn't possibly list it all.  It is now available as a 
Windows install package (or 32mb Compact Flash image).  AstLinux 0.2.2 
occupies around 26mb of disk space once expanded to flash.  The gzip'd 
CF images are about 15mb and the Windows installer isn't much more (for 
both images, the PDF user guide, and a copy of Putty).

	I had mixed feelings about which version of Asterisk to include with 
this build.  I NEED native MOH, so I checked out a copy of CVS HEAD from 
1/10/2005 and have been testing it for months.  I identified one minor 
issue, but otherwise it seems to work perfectly (especially with native 
MOH).  If enough people complain or have problems (I don't expect this, 
of course) I will try something else.  In the future I will probably 
include HEAD and a release, and give users the ability to chose which 
they would like to run.  This build also includes the asterisk-sounds 
package.

	NOTE:  This is still not for absolute beginners.  The Windows install 
package is probably the easiest way to install an Asterisk system yet, 
but you will still need to know how to edit configuration files by hand, 
etc.  I am working towards a better web interface, but that will take 
some time.  This is more for people that want to run Asterisk from 
diskless and/or embedded systems.

	Downloads and documentation can be found on my web site:

Wow -- very impressive.  I have it downloaded but can't install it yet 
(at work now).

I was working on the same thing and using a Gentoo build system for a 
2.6 kernel and uclibc, but then went to glibc -- and now have a full 
system (perl, python, etc) in ~57M.

Anyway I was just wandering if you had your build sources/scripts online 
so that people could customize Astlinux?  I for one would like to be 
using the stable cvs.

Thanks,
