We have tried Asterisk 1.0.9 on FC4 and have never been able to get CAPI (with Fritz card, fcpci) to work properly. Apart from that Asterisk works fine in switching internal calls. But it's useless if we can't make outgoing calls on our ISDN line. We are considering abandoning FC4 for Debian or SuSe. What is the general concensus on the best Linux to run Asterisk with CAPI? /Why Tea ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

I use Centos 3.5 with great success. It is a RHEL3 binary compatible clone.

I can't understand why anyone would use Fedora Core. Sure it 'can be' quite stable depending on what your doing but it is not considered a production ready OS. Any of the Red Hat Enterprise edition clones such as CentOS or White Box Enterprise Linux are a MUCH better alternative IMHO. I don't have any direct experience with CAPI so I can comment on that specifically. -----Original Message----- From: YT Lim [mailto:ytlim23@yahoo.com.au] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 9:07 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Which Linux distribution?
