I'm trying to find out what flavor of Linux people are choosing for their asterisk boxes. I have been using RH, but i'd like to try some different ones. It seems that RH is the common denominator in this rash of line noise problems. So some suggestions for what dist to use would be great. Thanks, Paul
they will all work, I use Mandriva, If you want something solid look at CentOS, Debian is cool but the stable branch is out dated while the development branch is rather stable. SUSE could work but I don't like to pay for a distro right up front. I do suggest that you donate to the distro that you end up using along with asterisk. Feature request are so much easier to swallow when they are writen on a twenty dollar bill.

If your used to RH keep using it. Since I am a person that has used RH for many years I have gone with CentOS which is RHEL via GPL. It's great and there yum servers are always up and running. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Paul Shiflet Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 11:27 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Recommended Linux Dist. for Asterisk I'm trying to find out what flavor of Linux people are choosing for their asterisk boxes.

Many people would not go that route, but we use that on our servers because when we are ready to update it, we can do so with less pain than with RHL/Fedora and SuSE, etc. The updates of the latter usually go okay, but there comes the time when we need to change major releases and that should be done with a clean reinstall. Now, with * you don't really need to do any changing as it will just sit there and work for the most part. However, since we have gentoo in many of our systems, we just stick with that. The ports in gentoo stay pretty current and it's worked fine for us. YMMV, and as I said above, gentoo is probably not the route for many who have little linux experience. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot.
I've used both Debian sarge and centos 4. If you compile * and zaptel from source it's easier to do with centos due to how debian structures it's kernel source and header files. My personal favorite between the two is centos. Chris

Paul, I prefer CentOS too as far as ease of * installation and ease of updating. Being so similar to Redhat Enterprise Linux, this probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but I can say that I have had no problems with line noise!

Wow, what a great response. Thanks for all the great input everyone. I will stick with redhat9, as everyone seems to think that is a good flavor to stick with. I just hope at some point I can figure out this noise problem....i'm about to turn my new shiny 4u server into a boat anchor.
