asterisk users - Aug 2005 - RE: Is the 2.6 Linux kernel ready for production * environment

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are about this.  It seem that * works
just as well on Linux 2.6 as 2.4.  Maybe a few small issues here and there
but generally it seems to me that * is just as stable on either platform.
2.4 is the obvious choice for the highest possiblility of a stable well
tested environment but 2.6 seems to have some enticing benefits.  
 
Can Linux 2.6 be considered a viable choice now a days for someone looking
for a well tested stable production environment even though it is not as
well tested as 2.4 (yet!).

Following that argument to it's logical conclusion I'd stick to 2.0.xx
or one of the 2.2 series.

Not exactly. One of the changes between 2.4 and 2.6 is work on reducing
latency: Mainly by preemption. Asterisk needs that quicker response.

Hi, Im about to start shopping parts for an * box. We are migrating
from a Meridian Norstar+ Modular ICS

Here are the customer details:
a) Meridian with 8 analog lines card and 32 nortel digital phones and
voicemail. We will interface * to the meridian using the analog ports
so we dont loose the phones.

b)half E1. The * box will get half E1 (with DID) for connecting to the
local telco.
We need two recepcionist/operator phones (sip or whatever)

So in terms of equipment I will need:
Sangoma a101 E1/PCI
an 8 port analog card
a channel bank?

Can someone tell me if i really have to buy an analog card? or maybe
link me to a web site that explains (with images) how a t1/e1 is
managed?

Thanks, and I apologize for this completely newbie question. I've
never seen images or instructions on how to handle this. Im not even
sure im using the right terms in Google.
